18/8 Falcon Avenue, Edinburgh

Set on the third/top floor of an established development in sought-after Morningside, this well-proportioned flat offers two bedrooms, a spacious reception room, a breakfasting kitchen, and a bathroom, all presented with stylish, modern interiors, and it boasts views of the Pentland Hills. The flat also has a private balcony, as well as benefiting from access to a shared garden and on-street permit parking.

A secure shared entrance and stairwell lead to the flat’s front door on the third/top floor, where you are welcomed inside by an airy, high-ceilinged hall with two built-in storage cupboards and space for furniture items. Here, the first glimpse of the flat’s attractive interiors is given, with neutral décor, painted blue accents, and rich original hardwood flooring (with the latter flowing throughout most of the property). To the left of the hall lies a reception room, where space is provided for arrangements of both lounge and dining furniture, and the same colour scheme and flooring as the hall is enhanced by a feature fireplace (with a working back boiler). East-facing glazing captures sunny morning light, including a door affording access to a balcony with space for a small table and chairs. The kitchen is fitted with modern grey wall and base cabinets, spacious worktops, and sleek metro-tiled splashbacks, whilst space is provided for a small breakfasting area, and two cupboards provide additional storage and pantry space. A Range cooker is neatly housed within the cabinets and paired with an extractor hood, whilst a dishwasher and washing machine are integrated and provision is made for a tall, freestanding fridge/freezer.

The flat accommodates two light and airy, well-proportioned double bedrooms, both continuing the airiness of the preceding accommodation and attractively decorated, enhanced by rich wood floors. One of the bedrooms is accompanied by built-in storage. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a wall-mounted basin, and a WC, all enveloped by classic monochrome tiling and flooring. An electric heating system ensures year-round comfort and efficiency.

Externally, the development is accompanied by a sunny shared garden/drying green, whilst permit parking on Falcon Avenue falls under Zone S2.
