Property Description
This spacious drawing room flat is quietly located on the western fringe of Edinburgh's prestigious New Town. It occupies the entire first floor of a classical former townhouse by John Chesser dating back to 1875 (Listed Category B). Several timeless period features have been retained including ornate cornicing, solid timber panelled doors and traditional sash-and-casement windows (one with shutters). The apartment enjoys a dual aspect affording an attractive leafy outlook directly overlooking gardens. It is an extremely well-proportioned City Centre home or letting opportunity (110 sqm) which would benefit from modernisation. There is a generously proportioned reception hallway incorporating an entry system handset and built-in storage. The original handsome drawing room boasts a large bay-windowed formation, centre rose and cornicing. A south-facing kitchen offers ample space for a table/chairs and has a pleasant garden outlook. The main double bedroom has a wash hand basin whilst the second double bedroom is fitted with wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and matching bedside cabinets. A second large double bedroom and the bathroom is brighter than average. Gas central heating is installed (recently serviced) and there is a gas fire in the public room.
The converted building itself has a wide stepped entrance, cast iron railings, fanlight, entry system, hardwood flooring and a beautiful original spindled staircase. Its large reception area, cupola and stairway were recently redecorated. The area offers zoned parking for residents (current costs are available from the City of Edinburgh Council).
The fitted carpets, blinds, curtains, cooker and washing machine are included in the sale price.
The property lies in Council Tax band E and has been valued by Chartered Surveyors at �410,000.
