The layout offers a spacious living/dining room with a working open fireplace, a well-equipped Shaker‑style breakfast kitchen, two large double bedrooms with full‑height windows, and a contemporary four‑piece bathroom with underfloor heating.
Practical features include a handy boot room with direct outside access, a small internal courtyard, private residents’ off‑street parking and use of a manicured communal garden. The apartment is freehold, benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and sits in Liberton with schools, local amenities and transport links within easy reach.
Buyers should note the building’s C‑listing: any alterations will be subject to listed‑building consents and may complicate refurbishment plans. The wider neighbourhood registers as a more deprived area, which potential purchasers should factor into long‑term resale and community considerations. Council tax is above average.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful apartment for someone seeking a distinctive period home with contemporary comforts. It will particularly suit buyers who value generous room sizes, private parking and communal garden space, and who are comfortable working within the constraints of a listed building.
