This bright and beautifully presented first-floor two-bedroom flat forms part of a traditional stone-built tenement, set within the highly regarded and leafy residential district of Blackford. The property enjoys a splendid and uninterrupted outlook towards Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat, along with excellent natural light throughout.
Presented in true walk-in condition, the flat offers well-proportioned accommodation beginning with a welcoming entrance hall featuring a large walk-in storage cupboard. The triple-windowed living room is a standout space, enjoying the open outlook towards Holyrood Park and offering ample room for both sitting and dining areas. A characterful fireplace with coal-effect electric stove and stripped, varnished wooden flooring complete the room.
Adjoining the living room, the naturally lit kitchen overlooks the rear communal garden and provides generous wall and base units, complementary worktops, tiled splashbacks, and a combination of integrated and slot-in appliances. A further large store cupboard adjoins the kitchen, offering excellent additional storage.
The principal double bedroom also enjoys the open outlook towards Salisbury Crags, while the second double bedroom is a versatile space, ideal for use as a home office or guest room. The contemporary, windowed bathroom is finished in white tiling and fitted with a three-piece suite, shower over bath, and heated towel rail.
Further benefits include gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Externally, the property enjoys its own private garden area with shed, in addition to access to a well-maintained communal green shared with three neighbouring flats — a particularly rare benefit for a traditional tenement property.
Blackford is a much sought-after residential area, located approximately two and a half miles south of Edinburgh City Centre and known for its pleasant leafy streets and proximity to open green spaces. Nearby areas such as Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Newington and The Grange offer an excellent range of local shops, cafés, and essential services, while Cameron Toll Shopping Centre is easily reached by car.
Edinburgh University’s King’s Buildings campus is close by, and the area is well served by recreational amenities including Blackford Hill and Pond, the Hermitage of Braid, and nearby golf courses. The property also benefits from good public transport links to the City Centre, major hospitals, and the University, with the City Bypass and wider motorway network easily accessible.
