4 bed flat for sale

Colinton Road, Edinburgh, Midlothian EH10

Our client purchased this wonderful, spacious 3/4 bedroom top floor flat back in his student days in the 1990’s. He has maintained and improved the property consistently in the intervening decades and now presents it for sale in stunning, walk-in condition.

The property maintains all of its original features and unlike many similar properties has not been unsympathetically reformatted. The gorgeous cornicing and fireplaces remain completely intact, and the panelling and windows retain originality whilst being in excellent order. We particularly like the open, clear skylights, the leaded entrance feature window and the retention of the servant’s bells in the kitchen.

The living room and 2 principle bedrooms are not just generous, but regular in shape. They all offer stunning views, to gardens and natural vistas to the front and a beautiful streetscape and Hillend and the Pentlands beyond to the rear.

The smaller bedrooms are very usable though either might be better utilized as a home office, mini gym or craft room. The kitchen is generous and simple offering ample scope for the buyer to make their own selection of inexpensive alternates or simply enjoy the kitchen in its current attractive and functional form. The addition of a utility cupboard and formal larder are further benefits. Similarly the provision of a large storage room off the generous hallway is also most useful and further adds to the spacious feel of this fabulous property.

If we had one area to address at some point (a personal preference of course) it, as is often the case in traditional flats of this era, is the bathroom which unlike the rest of the rooms that have the most impressive high ceilings, has a water tank above, lowering the ceiling and whilst featuring a 3 piece suite with shower above, lends better to conversion to a generous shower room.

Back to highlights, the owner knows everyone in the building and has done for decades. Most are owner occupiers. All are very proud of the upkeep of the property and all have just participated in a complete roof renewal completed to the very highest standards, giving the buyer peace of mind for a generation. There are no communal fees or factoring charges that are often painful for buyers of many contemporary properties. Having a share and use of the private communal gardens will also be attractive to many buyers.

The premier location will require no detailed description to knowledgeable buyers. Suffice to say, it’s a stone’s throw from holy corner and everything that Morningside, Bruntsfield and Colinton Road have to offer.

Our seller is motivated to move on now, is chain free, and is likely to favour buyers who are in a reasonable position to proceed.
