Immaculately presented and full of period charm, this dual-aspect two-bedroom flat sits on the second floor of a traditional stone tenement in lively Willowbrae, east of Edinburgh city centre. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and a feature fireplace give the principal rooms character, while restored hardwood flooring and large sash windows enhance natural light and the sense of space. The front-facing lounge enjoys skyline views towards the Forth and Fife.
Practical modern upgrades include a contemporary fitted kitchen with stone-effect worktops, integrated oven and gas hob, slate flooring and underfloor heating (kitchen and bathroom). The stylish fully tiled bathroom has a shower-over-bath and ladder radiator. Additional conveniences are gas central heating, double glazing, a secure entry system and built-in hall storage—making the flat ready to move into with minimal immediate work.
This property is well placed for local shops, Meadowbank Retail Park, Fort Kinnaird, Portobello beach and green spaces such as Holyrood Park. Frequent bus routes and easy access to the east end of the city centre suit professionals and first-time buyers seeking city living with nearby leisure options. A Home Report is available on request.
Notable considerations: the flat is on the second floor and there is no lift, accommodation is average-sized for a two-bedroom city flat, and the wider area has pockets of deprivation which may affect long-term resale in places. There is a single family bathroom. Buyers looking for a larger outdoor space should note there is no private garden with this unit.
