Maxwell Street is a quiet cul de sac off Morningside’s main thoroughfare. It is located some 3 miles south of Edinburgh’s city centre and numerous bus routes travel into town or indeed out to surrounding areas. The locality is extremely popular as there are whole host of shops, a Waitrose Supermarket, restaurants, bars, bistros, cafes and so on. Residents benefit from being close to some of Edinburgh’s most scenic walks including the Braid, Blackford & Craiglockhart Hills & the Braid Burn Valley. In addition, there’s a nearby park (Balcarres Street), tennis courts and several golf courses for the sporty. In addition, motorists are relatively close to the city by-pass which leads on to all the main roads round the city. Schooling for primary & secondary ages is excellent. With such a range of amenities, it is little wonder that the area should attract a variety of potential buyers including owner-occupiers and investors.
One of the many appealing factors of this property is that it is unusual: It is a conversion of what was once a larger flat and positioned in the attic level yet enters from the second floor landing. The gentle coombe ceilings, the hallway with its delightful cupola, the stripped down doors and the exposed stonework with wood-burning stove in the sitting room all contribute to the character of the flat. It does also feel bright and airy, has views to the Pentland Hills and isn’t overlooked, either to the front or rear. Significantly too, the kitchen accommodates a table, a feature many potential buyers seek nowadays. There is central heating (new boiler) and double glazing. The kitchen & bathroom fittings are contemporary and are a pleasant contrast to the “period” feel of the other rooms. All in all a splendid property.
