An attractive and well-maintained stairwell leads up to this second-floor property that comprises: an attractive hallway, two double bedrooms, a large bay-windowed living room, a well-equipped spacious dining kitchen and accompanying utility room, bathroom (with shower over bath) and good storage space.

The property shares access with other residents to a tidy and well-maintained garden.

It benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, leading to an above-average EPC rating.

Free on-street parking is available.

Please note that the images provided show some furnishings that belonged to previous tenants. The property does NOT currently have beds in either bedroom or a sofa in the living room.

MacDowall Road is a quiet side street. While in the property, it is very easy to forget that you are so well placed for amenities.

A few minutes’ walk away is Mayfield Road (with its a Margiotta supermarket, pharmacy and several takeaways), while Cameron Toll Shopping Centre (with its ALDI, Sainsbury's and various big-name stores) is only a 15-minute walk or less than 5 minutes by car. The vibrant bars and restaurants of Newington are on a 15-minute walk. For those looking to get back to nature for an hour or two, Blackford Hill Local Natural Reserve (featuring the peaceful Hermitage of Braid and scenic views of the city from the old hill fort) is just 15 minutes away. The King's Buildings of the University of Edinburgh (the main campus of the College of Science and Engineering) can also be reached in just under 10 minutes, making this apartment perfect for those studying or working in academia.

The apartment is also ideal for those who want to make the most of city living. It is just a two-minute walk from well-serviced bus stops on both Mayfield Road and West Savile Terrace, allowing easy commuting to and from the city centre. Old Town (with the world-famous Royal Mile and the ever-popular Grassmarket) is only around 10 minutes away on the bus or 30 minutes on foot.
