Edinburgh property: Charming colonies flat with log burning stove hits the market

A charming Edinburgh colonies flat has now become available, with the stunning property looking for a new owner.

One of the capital's most iconic types of housing, the once factory workers homes have now become an extremely sought after development for their quaint aesthetic.

Situated on the upper floors of one of the Leith colonies, the home still has its own private garden, and is accessed by a set of front steps.

Taking over the first floor and attic space, the apartment has been recently renovated, with a stunning bright and open plan living and kitchen area.

Coming complete with its own log burning stove in a nod to the past, the property still retains a lot of its period features, including the winding staircase to the attic level.

Containing three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the colony flat has a lot of space, with the master bedroom including a gorgeous bay window looking over the street.

Currently on the market for offers over £345,000, the flat doesn't come cheap, however it does come with a private garden out in front, which has been well maintained.

Speaking about the sought after property, estate agents Simpson and Marwick said: "Immaculately presented double upper colonies apartment with three bedrooms, period features and private garden, situated on a quiet residential street, close to a fantastic range of local amenities and excellent transport links.

"This most appealing bright and well-proportioned apartment offers comfortable and well-planned accommodation over two levels in excellent condition.

"The most bright and spacious sitting room gives access to a very versatile third bedroom, presently used as a home office. The modern kitchen / dining room is in excellent order overlooking the front garden and features a wood burning stove.

The master bedroom (Simpson and Marwick)

"In addition there are two double bedrooms on the top floor with fantastic built-in storage along with a bathroom and a shower room on the main floor.

"This unique property beautifully combines period features with excellent modern living and a fantastic level of storage throughout. Simpson & Marwick anticipate this property will be popular among the family and professional market, so early viewing is highly recommended."
