Charming West End flat: Has a Flat for Rent

Our bright, homely two-bedroomed flat is situated in a quiet pocket of Edinburgh’s West End. A 5-minute walk from Haymarket Station and 15 minutes’ walk from Princes Street - it’s ideally located for exploring the city and escaping to further afield. Our characterful Victorian-era home aims to soothe the soul no matter how long you stay. Spacious double rooms with considered shared living spaces. We hope you love it here as much as we do. Our Flat Situated on a quiet street a stones' throw from Haymarket, this bright, homely two bedroomed flat is situated on the third floor. The living room has a bright bay window, large corner sofa, decorative fireplace, dining table and benches, and an alcove for books. You can also peruse recipes in cookbooks stored under our coffee table. The well-appointed kitchen includes a convection oven, brand new ceramic hob, new washing machine, and fridge (1 year old). A food processor, hand blender and pasta maker are also available. We're foodies and our kitchen shows it! There is plenty of cupboard and fridge space for all food shopping within the kitchen. The kitchen fridge contains a small ice box, which we supplement with a small freezer in the hallway cupboard for storing larger items and prepared meals. The flat has a bathroom with a combined toilet and bath/shower. Being on the top floor the flat is nice and cozy, but all rooms can be centrally heated. Also available is high-speed broadband with WiFi. Two of us usually work from home here and very rarely have any internet issues. The primary bedroom comprises a double bed, sizeable wardrobe and chest of drawers, bedside table and Georgian desk with ergonomic chair suitable for WFH. There’s also an ‘Edinburgh Press’ cupboard filled with a huge selection of books spanning genres and interests should you like to read during your stay. The second bedroom has original wooden flooring with a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. It also boasts a modern sit/stand desk and ergonomic chair for your ideal, personalised work from home set up. It also doubles up as a more creative studio-type workspace for arty types. The hallway has original wooden flooring and a laundry pulley. If you have a ‘good drying day’ whilst here - there is also a washing line outside in the communal back garden. Just beware of Scotland's 'four seasons in one day' climate! Our Neighbourhood The flat is superbly situated in the West End of Edinburgh and is a 5-minute walk from Haymarket Station and 15 minutes walk from Princes Street. A 15 minute walk also takes you to the Water of Leith - a river walkway that runs through Edinburgh from south to north, surrounded by forest and green spaces. We like to walk there daily to stay healthy! Haymarket/Dalry is no more than 20-25 minutes walk from the majority of other central Edinburgh neighbourhoods, which allows for good variety in walks for breaking up WFH days. The immediate surrounding area of Haymarket/Dalry has a wide variety of restaurants, including very good Pizzeria and Japanese restaurants at the end of our street. If you would prefer to cook at home the flat has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a large Co-Op supermarket around the corner and two Sainsbury's supermarkets within a 10-minute walk. If you’re arriving later in the evening - or need to pick up a workday lunch or weekend picnic before jumping on the train, tram or bus - the M&S in Haymarket Station is convenient to pick up lunch items, simple meals, ingredients and snacks. There are two well-stocked wine and beer shops within a 5-minute walk and the Fountain Park entertainment complex is also 5 minutes' walk away which includes a Nuffield Gym, Cineworld, bowling alley and several restaurants. We use the very reasonably priced Edinburgh Leisure fitness centre at the other end of our street which has a no-frills, but friendly small gym (but being a 1 min walk from the flat means you never miss leg day…), with a sauna and Victorian swimming pool. Also, 5 minutes walk away is a bus station where the bus numbers 2, 3, 4, 25, 33, 44 stop. (Of note the Number 33 will take you to the hospital if (unfortunately!) required.)
