A bright and spacious two-bedroom, ground-floor flat in one of the most prestigious areas of the city. Includes a large private rear garden with apple trees, a modern kitchen with a separate dining room and a working log burner. Unfurnished for maximum flexibility. Available 1 November!

A rarity in the rental market, one of the many highlights of this exceptional property is its grand living room. The elegant fireplace (with its working log burner) and large bay window make brilliant focal points for this impressive room, which is bursting with period features such as its tall ceilings and ornate cornicing.

The galley kitchen is modern and sleek. It has been fitted with new flooring in anticipation of a new tenancy. There is substance as well as style, however. It is fully equipped with all the appliances you would expect in a high-end rental (including the likes of a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, gas hob and fridge freezer). It also has ample worktop and cupboard space. The storage space includes a good-sized pantry. There is a separate dining room with LED ceiling lighting.

The large back garden can be reached directly from the kitchen. This enclosed space is a peaceful oasis, with its own patio area, apple trees and brand new decking area (which will be in place before the entry date). Its length allows it to get light all day during the summer, making it perfect for relaxing and entertaining. It is further complimented by the small front garden, which is also private. Regular gardening visits are included in the let.

If two private gardens were not sufficient, the occupants of this property will also be able to apply for access to the prestigious Merchiston Gardens. This closed community garden with its wild garden, goal posts and seasonal events.

Both bedrooms are to the rear of the property. The main bedroom is spacious and bright. It has a large window and an Edinburgh press for storage. It could comfortably fit all manner of bedroom furniture with ease. The second bedroom is accessed via a small stairway. This privacy makes it ideal as a bedroom or as a home office. This second bedroom has an inbuilt wardrobe.

The modern bathroom is stylish and well-designed. There are various quality finishes here. The shower over bath has recessed shelving, the mirror has LED lighting and there is a heated towel rail.

Turning to the more practical aspects of the property, the amount of storage available is very impressive. As well as the kitchen pantry, there are also two very large storage cupboards off the hallway – each with built-in shelving and/or hooks.

The property benefits from a gas-fired combi boiler powering the heating and hot water systems.

Situated in the heart of the prestigious area of Merchiston, this stunning property is perfectly located in terms of local amenities. Shopping facilities within a 15-minute walk include two Tesco supermarkets and a large Waitrose. Bruntsfield Place (with its trendy cafes, upscale dining options and classy bars) and Morningside Road (with its boutique shopping options, traditional pubs and wide selection of takeaways) are both within a 20-minute walk. The property is also just over 20 minutes' walk away from the recreational facilities at Fountain Park, which include a cinema, gym, pub, bowling alley, casino, crazy golf, trampoline park and a collection of well-known chain restaurants.

The property is ideal for those working in academia. It is less than a 10-minute walk from Edinburgh Napier University's Merchiston campus, and under half an hour from its Craiglockhart campus.

Merchiston is about a mile from the city centre. The likes of the West End, Haymarket and Old Town can be reached in around half an hour on foot (or just over 10 minutes by bike). The Union Canal provides a safe, traffic-free route into the city. The property is only a couple of minutes from a bus stop that provides regular services into the city centre which takes less than 10 minutes.

For those looking to escape the city for a while (and are not satisfied by the extensive private garden or access to Merchiston Gardens), the property is close to various other green spaces. Craiglockhart Nature Reserve (with its brilliant views of the city) and Harrison Park (with its canal side open spaces and playparks) are only 10 minutes away on foot, while the Hermitage of Braid (with its burnside walks) is less than half an hour away.

In terms of schooling, the property is one of the best catchments. Bruntsfield and Boroughmuir are the state primary and secondary schools, respectively. Both have a good standing as being some of the best in the city. Additionally, George Watson's College is one of the most well-regarded private schools in Scotland and is only a short walk away.
