Flat for sale in 2/1 Leslie Place, Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH4

Forming part of a traditional Georgian building, this two-bedroom (plus box room) ground-floor flat is an attractive city residence which is in excellent decorative order. It offers spacious, light-filled accommodation, with the benefits of period architecture, and it is finished throughout with appealing neutral décor – an ideal aesthetic for new buyers. Furthermore, the flat has an exciting location in the heart of Stockbridge within the New Town conservation area. It is just a stone’s throw from award-winning amenities and some of Edinburgh’s best restaurants, bars, and cafés. In addition, it is just a short stroll from picturesque green spaces, like the Water of Leith Walkway, Inverleith Park, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Accessed via a secure telephone-entry system, the flat’s front door opens into a central hall that offers an inviting introduction. It provides useful built-in storage and it sets the scene for the following accommodation, which lies in wait behind four-panel wooden doors.

Fronted by a trio of southeast-facing sash windows, the living room is a wonderfully sunny reception area with a spacious footprint. It is enhanced by subtle neutral décor and white detailing, which creates a relaxed and welcoming living environment. Smooth cornice work highlights the lofty ceiling, whilst a handsome fireplace provides a focal-point for arranging comfy lounge furniture. The room is finished by a shelved recess for books and display items.

The dining kitchen is equally spacious as the living area, ensuring plenty of room for a large table and chairs – perfect for sociable dinner parties with family and friends. It has a well-appointed range of wood-toned cabinets, with easy-to-clean splashbacks and stone-effect worktops adding the finishing touches to the popular design. There is additional built-in storage and it comes with a selection of integrated appliances (oven, gas hob, and fridge/freezer) and an undercounter washing machine.

The two double bedrooms both mirror the look of the living room, which enhances a calming and airy ambience, at the same time allowing ample scope for new owners to easily add their own stamp. Both rooms are bright and generously proportioned, offering lots of space for bedside tables, wardrobes, and other furnishings. Furthermore, the principal bedroom (with the twin sash windows) has the advantage of a traditional press cupboard for on-hand storage. Adding to the home’s versatility, there is also a box room just off the living area. This could be used as a study, a home office, or even playroom, depending upon your requirements.

Finished with a mix of neutral tiles and chic decoration, the bathroom has a light aesthetic. It is fitted with a white four-piece suite, incorporating a towel radiator, a toilet, a pedestal washbasin, a bath, and a separate shower cubicle.
