Details:
Finished to an exemplary standard, this first floor two-bedroom flat forming part of a traditional stone-built tenement is set on the corner of Blackford Avenue and Eva Place, in the verdant and very popular residential district of Blackford and has a splendid and uninterrupted view of Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat.
The flat's front door opens into the welcoming hall that has the benefit of a large walk-in cupboard. The triple windowed living room has an enviable view of Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat. It is large enough to comfortably accommodate separate sitting and dining areas; it has a coal effect, electric stove sitting in the hearth of the fireplace and a pristine stripped and varnished wooden floor. The naturally lit kitchen overlooks the communal rear garden and adjoins the living room. It provides plentiful wall and base storage units, work surfaces with tiled splash backs and a combination of integrated and slot-in appliances; it also houses the gas fired central heating boiler. Adjoining the kitchen is a very useful large store cupboard.
The large principal double bedroom also shares the view towards Holyrood Park; the second double bedroom is currently used as a study. The contemporary windowed white tiled bathroom has a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath and a heated ladder towel rail. The flat has gas fired central heating and is double glazed. It shares a sizeable communal back garden with three neighbours while also having an additional private plot.
Location:
Known for its pleasant leafy streets and eclectic mix of traditional stone built and well-designed contemporary properties, the much favoured residential district of Blackford lies two and a half miles south of Edinburgh City Centre.

For more extensive shopping, Cameron Toll Shopping Centre, with its multitude of high street retailers, is easily accessible, being a six-minute car journey from the flat.
Edinburgh University's Kings Building Campus is situated close by. Recreational activities including Craigmillar Park and Braid Hills Golf Courses, Blackford Hill and Pond and Hermitage of Braid are within walking distance, and the Commonwealth Swimming Pool is also located nearby. The flat shares the communal garden with its three neighbours, while also having its own.
