About
Occupying the first floor of a handsome Victorian tenement in the heart of Marchmont, this substantial two-bedroom flat offers beautifully proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 104sqm, combining outstanding period character with a confident and highly individual sense of style.
A striking communal entrance and elegant stair lead to the property, where a broad reception hall immediately conveys the scale and character that continue throughout.
The west-facing bay-windowed living room is an exceptional space, filled with afternoon and evening light and showcasing many of the features that make traditional Edinburgh flats so enduringly sought after, including ornate cornice work, a handsome fireplace, generous proportions, and impressive ceiling heights.
To the rear, the spacious kitchen/dining room provides a wonderful contrast, blending contemporary finishes with bold, vibrant décor to create a space that feels both practical and full of personality.
With ample room for dining and entertaining, together with a separate utility room, it forms a superb heart of the home.
Enjoying a bright easterly aspect, it is a welcoming space for everyday living, with pleasant views across the mature communal gardens beyond.
The accommodation is completed by two excellent double bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, while the second bedroom benefits from a quiet outlook over the rear communal garden.
A stylish contemporary shower room serves the property, and a useful box room, currently fitted with bunk beds, offers excellent flexibility.
Throughout, original timberwork, decorative plasterwork, stained glass detailing, and fireplaces sit comfortably alongside colourful interiors and thoughtfully chosen finishes.
The result is a home of genuine character, where traditional architectural features and contemporary styling complement one another to excellent effect.
The property further benefits from access to a large and beautifully maintained communal rear garden, gas central heating, excellent storage throughout, and on-street parking.
