Dreamy Edinburgh Victorian attic flat with window seat hits the market

An incredible Edinburgh attic flat has hit the market, but it comes with a bit of an asking price.

Not quite what you first think when you hear 'attic flat', the two bedroom property is part of a huge former Victorian house at The Grange, and is pretty breathtaking.

Set out over the top floor of the building, the apartment is in no way tight for space, and has a luxurious living room, two well-sized bedrooms and some adorable features, but it will set you back £595,000.

Looking out over Blackford Hill, the property is accessed by a private drive and grand entranceway which leads you up a staircase to the door of the flat.

Heading inside, the property has a skylight and log burning stove in the living room, as well as a huge corner window seat, ideal for curling up and enjoying the views.

Just off the living area, the smaller second bedroom is currently being used as a home office and guest bedroom, with more than enough room for both.

There is also a separate kitchen and dining room, with the fit out being very modern but keeping a traditional feel. An incredible spot to eat dinner, the dining room has windows on almost every wall to look out over the city.

Due to its older design, there are a couple of unique spots in the apartment too, such as a tiny little writing snug down a couple of stairs from the hallway.

Outside, the flat is able to access a private garden which has been kept beautifully, which comes with an array of plants, a patio area and a storage shed.
