Edinburgh houses for sale: Stockbridge colonies flat with tranquil garden hits the market

A stunning Edinburgh flat has hit the market in one of the most aesthetic areas of the city.

The three-bedroom property has been advertised in Stockbridge, with the flat sitting on the top floor of one of Edinburgh's colony developments.

A staple of the city's architecture, most of the colonies were built between 1850 and 1910 for artisans and skilled working class families, and are now some of the most sought after streets.

Costing a little more than it would have in 1850, the home is on the marker for offers over £475,000, with its location and interior boosting the price.

The upper flat is also on the end of the terrace, meaning it does not have neighbours on either side of the property, and also comes with a garden.

Although not huge, the walled garden has the potential to be a stunning outdoor area, with the tranquil location and layout ideal for a new owner.

Accessed by a set of stairs at the front of the building, the B-listed flat is beautiful on the inside, with three bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a walk-in-wardrobe.

The kitchen (Coulters)

Fitted with a bright and airy decor, there is a large living space and bay window, as well as a modern kitchen that has kept the feel of the historic property.

The original fireplaces have also been kept in good condition, with a faux log-burning stove set up in the living area. The master bedroom in the attic also has a fireplace as well as a huge bay window looking out over Stockbridge.

The master bedroom (Coulters)

Speaking about the property, Coulters said: "Situated within the highly-desirable Stockbridge Colonies, this beautifully presented three-bedroom double-upper flat occupies an enviable end-terrace position and benefits from its own private garden.

"The B-listed colonies flats form part of a peaceful conservation area and lie enviably close to fantastic amenities and green spaces, including the Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Park, and the Water of Leith."
