Top floor flatted conversion with far-reaching views in former Victorian townhouse beside the Dean Bridge
Filled with character, individuality and brightness, this charming flatted conversion is within Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town. It occupies the entire top floor of a former end terraced townhouse by John Chesser (Listed Category B). This most desirable apartment (97 sqm) is filled with natural light and boasts a private stone balcony affording extensive views over Edinburgh’s skyline. It has a proven rental history which would currently command a monthly rental figure of £2000, proving demand is extremely high in this much-sought after location. There is a large living room featuring an impressive original fireplace, sanded floor and cornicing. With a wide window formation, the separate fitted kitchen/dining room gives direct access to the balcony. Both bedrooms are good doubles and the bathroom is fitted with timeless white sanitary ware. The building was subdivided into four separate apartments circa 1930's and retains the classic oversailing stepped entrance and black cast-iron railings. The elegant entrance door with fan light has a secure entry system serving the three apartments.
Gas central heating is operated by a combi boiler installed circa 9 years ago and this has been serviced and maintained regularly.
