Situated within the highly desirable East Suffolk Park development in Newington, this charming second-floor apartment offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation in an exceptionally peaceful setting, surrounded by beautiful communal grounds and enjoying a rare combination of leafy surroundings and city convenience. Presented as an ideal home for professionals, downsizers, first-time buyers or investors, the property benefits from two double bedrooms, generous living space, attractive views towards Arthur’s Seat and residents’ parking.

The accommodation is entered via a welcoming hallway with useful storage and leads through to an impressive lounge and dining room. Extending over 26 feet in length, this wonderfully bright and versatile space provides ample room for both relaxing and entertaining, with large windows drawing in excellent natural light and framing a particularly pleasant outlook towards Arthur’s Seat and the surrounding greenery. The adjacent kitchen is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed, providing excellent storage and workspace.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive leafy outlooks with views towards Arthur’s Seat, creating a wonderful sense of openness and tranquillity. Bedroom two further benefits from fitted wardrobe storage, while both rooms offer excellent flexibility for use as bedrooms, guest accommodation or home-working space. The bathroom is well proportioned and fitted with a modern suite, and the property also benefits from excellent storage throughout and a practical layout ideally suited to modern living.

The development itself is exceptionally well maintained and set amidst attractive communal grounds, creating a tranquil environment rarely found so close to Edinburgh’s city centre. Residents also enjoy the convenience of off-street parking.

One of the property’s most unique and appealing features is its enviable position directly beside East Suffolk Park, a beautiful private garden available exclusively to residents. Offering expansive open green space, mature trees and its own tennis courts, this wonderful amenity provides a lifestyle opportunity seldom found within the city, creating an idyllic extension of the home and a peaceful retreat for relaxation, recreation and socialising.
