Unique 2 Bedroom Home in Edinburgh, Edinburgh

East Lothian. Sleeps up to 4

Space

If this was an episode of ‘Escape to the City' then this would be the mystery property.

From the flat you are next to Bruntsfield/Fountainbridge/Tollcross and only a 20 minute walk to Princes Street and 10 minutes to Haymarket train station. With pay and display, parking outside the flat and major bus routes on the doorstep it is very accessible. With many recent improvements, you will find it a very attractive home.

The main door entry takes you through the vestibule and into the lounge/dining area. With a dining table and chairs, modern 3 and 2 seater suites and oak wooden floor it is perfect for entertaining guests.

In the modern galley kitchen you will find everything you need to make cooking easy and fun, including a dishwasher, condenser washer /dryer, Smeg gas hob & electric oven and fridge freezer. From the kitchen, you can see out the back door to the shared garden drying green.

Also, on the ground floor is the bathroom with a bath and shower, wall to wall marble tiles, ornate glass sink and a feature mirror; with demister panel (great for the guys for shaving). There is the added bonus under floor heating in the bathroom - a real treat in the mornings.

The ground floor bedroom has a double divan bed, bedside table and a large window with original wooden shutters to black out the room at night. To the rear of the property, you can’t hear a sound at night here, our guests over the years all say it is the best night’s sleep they have had in ages.

Finally, down stairs is the Master Bedroom which we also used as an office, because there is so much space here (over 20 feet long!). The large windows at the front of the property more than adequately light the room and with blackout curtains, you will get a good sleep in the light summers. The room includes a kingsize bed and wardrobe.

You are more than welcome to use the shared garden space on sunny days.

Access

Guests will have access to the entire property during their stay.

Interaction

I won't be available in person but I have a fantastic support team who will be contactable by email or telephone during your stay.
