A generously proportioned main-door flat occupying the ground floor of a traditional tenement in the heart of Bruntsfield, offering an exciting opportunity to create a beautifully tailored home in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
The property opens into a welcoming entrance vestibule and hallway, leading through to a spacious living room with an original open fireplace, alongside a separate kitchen and dining room. Two well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, while a useful box room offers excellent flexibility for storage, a home office or creative space. A wet room completes the internal accommodation.
The property offers an impressive amount of space and a layout that lends itself equally well to modernisation or a more considered restoration of its period character. Traditional details include timber sash and casement windows, timber joinery and the original fireplace, with the proportions and scale synonymous with Edinburgh’s traditional tenement architecture.
Outside, the property benefits from private garden ground to the front, complemented by access to communal garden space to the rear — a particularly welcome feature for a home so close to the city centre.
Forbes Road sits within the established Bruntsfield neighbourhood, surrounded by an excellent range of local amenities and everyday conveniences. The area is renowned for its village-like atmosphere, independent cafés, shops and restaurants, while Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows are close by, providing some of the city’s most popular green spaces. Excellent transport links provide easy access to Edinburgh city centre and beyond.
With its generous proportions, main-door access, private outdoor space and superb Bruntsfield setting, this is a rare opportunity to create a characterful Edinburgh home with plenty of scope to make it your own.
