2 bed flat for sale

Roseneath Place, Edinburgh EH9

This traditional Victorian second-floor flat forms part of a handsome tenement in Marchmont and offers bright westerly-facing rooms and characterful period features. Now in need of a degree of modernisation, the property offers excellent scope for its new owners to modernise to taste.

The entrance hall, with stripped timber flooring and tall ceilings, leads to an open-plan living/dining/kitchen. The kitchen comes with a good range of wall and base units, with space for seated dining, while the living area is set at the window, where warm afternoon sun streams in. There are two double bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with delightful period features as well as a walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom is a small double and also boasts a period fire surround. Completing the city home is a three-piece bathroom. The property benefits from access to a communal rear garden, as well as electric heating. Extras: Sold as seen.
