Set across two upper levels of a substantial Victorian stone villa, this spacious four-bedroom double upper flat offers flexible family living with generous ceiling heights and period features throughout. The bay-windowed sitting room and principal bedroom with en-suite provide bright, well-proportioned principal spaces, while three further double bedrooms and a family/dining room (or bedroom five) give adaptable accommodation to suit home-working or growing families.
The kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, bathroom and separate shower room are finished to a modern standard, and the property includes a private, landscaped rear garden, single garage and double-length driveway for convenient off-street parking. The layout benefits from good natural light, high ceilings and original detailing, creating an attractive setting for day-to-day family life.
Located in Newington to the south of the city centre, the home lies close to plentiful local amenities, regular bus routes, green spaces such as The Meadows and Arthur’s Seat, and is in the catchment for Sciennes Primary and James Gillespie’s High School. The freehold tenure and substantial overall size (about 1,970 sqft) make it suitable for long-term family occupation or a quality lettings investment.
Buyers should note the property is a multi-story conversion with external stair access to the elevated entrance and that council tax is reported as expensive. The surrounding area has mixed socio-economic indicators, and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on any maintenance or adaptation costs associated with a Victorian building and its period fabric.
