A bright and comfortable period home in one of Edinburgh's most appealing neighbourhoods, this apartment feels like home from the moment you open the door. Right in the heart of Stockbridge, known for its famous rugby ground, you'll be surrounded by cafes, shops and pubs, with a convenience store on the ground floor of the building – what could be more convenient? With a quiet, peaceful feel, the apartment is packed with character features, from the high ceilings and wood floors to the ornate cornice and the big, beautiful bay window that looks over the street. The furniture is modern, with lots of thought having gone into things like the soft furnishings, reading lamps and the comfy sofa, and there's a handy writing desk in the window – the perfect spot for you to embark on your first novel. We particularly love the trendy kitchen area, with its exposed brick walls, its high-spec range cooker and raised dining area where you can look out across the playing fields.
