The flat is reached via a communal stairwell with secure entry. Behind the front door, an entrance hall houses useful incorporated storage and is plushly carpeted for a welcoming introduction to the home.

Leading off the hall is a spacious reception room, with space for comfortable seating and dining furniture, lit by double south-facing windows (with working shutters) that frame captivating views of Arthur’s Seat. Characterful features include stripped pine flooring, wood panelling, fine decorative plasterwork, and accent wallpaper, while useful storage and a log burner complete this convivial living space.

Across the hall is a stylish breakfasting kitchen benefiting from a leafy garden outlook.
Cabinetry and counter space in understated white and wood tones are fitted beside space
for a bistro table and chairs – perfect for casual meals and socialising with guests when
cooking. In addition to a focal stainless-steel range cooker with a statement hood, there is
an integrated dishwasher, an under-counter washing machine, and floorspace for an upright
fridge freezer.

The interiors include two spacious double bedrooms adorned with authentic cornicework. One bedroom is plushly carpeted, with a secluded rear-facing position and a useful Edinburgh Press. The other features contemporary wood-inspired flooring and built-in storage. This bedroom also makes the most of the property’s sunny aspect and scenic outlook, as does its adjoining study. The study represents excellent potential with the option to use as a nursery, walk-in wardrobe, or, subject to planning consent, adapt to an en-suite shower room.

Finally, a light and airy bathroom is tastefully presented in a minimalist fashion and includes a classily-styled WC and pedestal basin, a bath with an overhead shower and electric underfloor heating. The flat benefits from gas central heating and double glazing to the rear.

Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated/freestanding kitchen appliances, excluding the fridge freezer which may be available by separate negotiation.

Externally, the residents of the tenement share access to a delightful rear garden enclosed by stone walling. On-street parking on Montrose Terrace falls under Controlled Zone N6. There is also a private external store cupboard included in this sale on the lower ground floor level in the communal stair.
