With its wealth of period features, tasteful modern upgrades, and popular Merchiston location, the property offers a sitting/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom across approximately 729 sq ft.
Elegant and bright, 8 (Flat 3) Granville Terrace is a two-bedroom flat on the first floor of a converted townhouse in the popular residential neighbourhood of Merchiston. Featuring spacious accommodation elevated by extensive period details and ornamentation, the property would make a beautiful home for professional couples and young families as well as an excellent investment.
Accommodation
The property is entered through a secure entry leading to a beautifully-maintained shared staircase. The accommodation then comprises a welcoming hall with wood flooring from which all other rooms are accessed.
To the front, a spectacular sitting/dining room forms the main hub of the home. Benefitting from a desirable South-East positioning, the luminous room is bathed in natural light through its bay window while the feature fireplace with mantel adds a secondary focus point to the public room. Extensive ornate cornicing and plasterwork are also beautifully offset by the warm wood flooring. The sitting/dining room then leads to a contemporary kitchen with glossy wall- and floor-mounted units contrasted by a modern tile frieze.
Featuring further wood flooring, the generous double bedroom 1 is elevated by a period fireplace and overlooks Edinburgh and the Forth in the distance. Double bedroom 2 offers well-proportioned accommodation with a built-in cupboard and two wardrobes.
A stylish bathroom completes the property with a shower over bath, wash hand basin, and wc on a bold mosaic tiled floor.
