No HMO licence. Available now!
Please note that the photos are for demonstrative purposes only. The property is UNFURNISHED.
The property is accessed by a shared vestibule complete with high ceilings and original mosaic-tiled flooring. This leads to a carpeted stairway leading to the main landing on the property's first floor. This space gives access to the living room, dining kitchen and fourth bedroom.
One of the many highlights of this property is the impressive living room. This bright room is expansive, leaving ample room for a large dining table, lounge furniture and even a study area. It is packed with charming traditional features, including a gas fire with a solid marble surround, ornate cornicing and a large, south-facing bay window overlooking Dean Tennis and Squash Club. This would make an ideal space for entertaining guests and relaxing.
The spacious kitchen has tastefully designed to maximise storage space, while still remaining in sync with the property's Georgian charm. It has a neutral palette and quality aesthetics, such as real wood countertops and a Belfast sink. This kitchen is perfect for cooking enthusiasts, with top-of-the-line features such as a double oven, an integrated microwave, and a five-ring gas hob. Under the counters, there is also a washing machine, a fridge, a freezer and a full-size dishwasher. A brand-new hardwearing lino has been fitted here for easy cleaning. The island unit shown in the photos is moveable, allowing the successful tenants to use this room in the way that best suits their needs.
There is one additional room on the same floor as the kitchen-diner and the living room. As the property is unfurnished, successful applicants can choose how to use this versatile room, which could easily be utilised as a study (as per the photos), a TV/games room or a small guest bedroom.
A curved staircase (still with its original banister) leads to the upper level, with the impressive cupola flooding the stairwell with natural light.
The first bedroom as you reach the top of the stairs is a small, rear-facing double. Given the number of power outlets in this room and the stunning views, it would make an excellent study or library. Its location next to the main bedroom also makes it a perfect walk-in wardrobe. Adjacent to this is the main bedroom which offers ample fitted storage space. Both of these rooms have original working wooden shutters and offer extensive views across the city and northwards to Fife on the horizon.
Next to the main bedroom is a large bathroom. This room blends old and new well, with modern spotlighting to keep the room bright and a roll-top bath to give it that period-appropriate feel. There is also a separate shower cubicle.
The final bedroom is set to the front of the property. Both it, and its ensuite shower room, have new flooring. It also has double-glazed velux windows and extensive storage in the adjacent eaves. Being on its own staggered level and with access to its own wash facilities, this would make a great, self-contained guest bedroom for visiting friends and family.
Since the last EPC, a brand new gas-fired combi boiler has been recently installed helping to minimise energy bills.
While the property does not have a private garden, access to The Dean Gardens, one of the most exclusive private gardens in the city, can be applied for by the tenants at a nominal cost as the property is a qualifying address. See further regarding the application process at www.deangardens.org.
The property is situated in the highly regarded Stockbridge area - one of the cultural hubs of the city. Accordingly, a superb choice of specialty shops, trendy bars, quality restaurants, high-end coffee shops, popular delicatessens and trendy boutiques nearby. A Sainsbury's Local and a large Waitrose are only 10 minutes away on foot. Craigleith Retail Park and Princes Street are both also a short distance away offering a wider range of big-brand shopping facilities. The property has excellent public transport links. Haymarket Station is only 20 minutes on foot. There are also several frequently serviced bus stops a stone's throw from the front door.
The central location of this property and its plentiful space would make it ideal for a professional couple that wants all the benefits of city living without sacrificing on space and luxury.
