Arts and Crafts in period and enjoying leafy views of the Water of Leith, R.L. Stephenson's Long Steps, poetry trail trips down passed the building, adding to the historic ambience of the property. Impressively proportioned, the one bedroom, one reception, ground floor apartment has been sympathetically refurbished retaining many original features and introducing elegant, contemporary touches.

The original black panelled door leads into a spacious, light hallway providing the same three metre ceiling heights which grace the rest of the house. Generous and stylish, the living room has a reinstated fireplace, original shelved open cupboard and wonderful period windows offering views over the bridge and up to the old church of Colinton.

Overlooking a private courtyard, the well-designed kitchen features white gloss cabinets and a free standing cooker, washing machine and fridge. 

Now all the things that belong to the day.....

Relaxing and bright, the large, dual aspect bedroom flows into a newly remodelled and elegantly appointed bathroom with sleek tiling, bath, dual head shower and fitted basin.

In addition, the property benefits from a new gas central heating boiler Oct 2015, neutral decor, good quality flooring and blinds throughout.

Well now and a while the summer stays...

A pretty, sheltered courtyard is secluded and south facing offering a perfect opportunity for alfresco dining, be it Sunday morning breakfast with the papers or a barbecue with friends. There are also communal, lawned gardens with mature trees and shrubs, which are maintained by a jointly retained gardener. The overall up keep of the building is also diligently organised by the residents, further eliminating costly factoring fees.

Location and Amenities

One of Edinburgh's most sought after residential areas, set on the south west reaches of the City, in the lea of the Pentland Hills, the village offers a pharmacy, post office, a good range of local shops, restaurants and bars. More extensive supermarket shopping facilities are available nearby at both Tesco and Morrisons, whilst easy links to the city bypass provide access to many large retail outlets.
