Quarter as well as close to the lovely surrounding open green spaces including parks and Arthur’s Seat for hillwalking. With a calming interior palette of soft greys, the property retains many key original features such as a delicate plasterwork ceiling and double sash and case windows in the family living/dining room, boasting elevated views across to Hillside Crescent Gardens. Light-filled with a good size kitchen and family bathroom completing the accommodation, this will make a wonderful home with flexible family living in mind, whilst an HMO (currently expired) offers buy-to-let potential.
