Set on a peaceful, tree-lined street in the heart of Bruntsfield, this generous ground-floor main-door flat combines substantial living space with classic Victorian character. The property extends to approximately 1313 sq ft and benefits from high ceilings, a bay-windowed sitting room, tall windows and a private entrance with a quaint vestibule. Direct access to expansive, well-kept communal gardens and a small enclosed front garden give rare outdoor space for city living.
Accommodation includes two large double bedrooms, a versatile box room (ideal for a home office or nursery), a sizable dining kitchen with pantry, and a contemporary shower room. The layout is flexible and well suited to a couple or small family seeking roomy rooms and period detail. Several built-in storage areas and a long central hall add practical day-to-day convenience.
Buyers should note some practical points: the flat has a mix of double and single glazed windows, and there is potential for minor damp at the front elevation that may require attention to maintain kerb appeal. Controlled residents’ permit on-street parking only — no private driveway. Council tax is above average for the area, and the broader local classification records higher deprivation indices despite the village-like amenities nearby.
This property is well located for local schools, parks (Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows) and an excellent selection of independent cafés and shops. It represents a rare, spacious period flat with outside space in a highly desirable pocket of Bruntsfield, offering clear scope for cosmetic updating to personalise the home.
