Main-door Victorian flat with garden, near great schools, bills included

Description

This elegant yet highly practical and family-friendly ground-floor, main-door flat offers a rare combination of period character and modern comfort, with its own independent entrance (no shared stair) and a private front garden. To the rear, the property benefits from direct access to a large, shared, south-facing, well-maintained garden, ideal for families and outdoor living. Located in the highly sought-after neighbourhood of Marchmont, the flat sits within a quiet, residential area just walking distance from Edinburgh city centre. The area is particularly desirable for families, being close to top-rated state schools (primary and secondary) and excellent nurseries, as well as within easy reach of major universities including University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University — making it ideal for professionals on sabbatical. A wide range of local amenities are just moments away, including independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as excellent public transport links. The beautifully refurbished Warrender Swim Centre — a historic Victorian swimming pool and gym — is approximately a 2 minute walk from the property. The flat itself retains charming Victorian features, including original decorative stucco ceilings, while having been recently renovated to a high standard. It is fully furnished and thoughtfully equipped for modern living, including two dedicated workstations with sit–stand desks, making it ideal for remote working. Overall, this is a spacious, comfortable and characterful home, perfectly suited to a family or professional household seeking a high-quality, fully equipped base in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable areas.
