35a Coates Gardens, West End, Edinburgh

Located in the middle of Edinburgh’s West End, this four bedroom basement flat sees buyers living near the beating heart of the city’s cultural center.
Entering through a small vestibule, the flat opens into a large open plan hall/kitchen/dining room.

Void spaces, in the hall as well as in the bedrooms, have been turned into storage cupboards to use as much of the available space as possible, without reducing the rooms in size.
To the left, a large 7.42 x 5.05m sitting room, complete with a large bow front window and dark wooden flooring, invites tenants to sit back and relax or entertain guests; a fireplace creates a homely, warm atmosphere.

The sitting room offers the only access to the smallest of the four bedrooms, which may also be used as a study.
All other bedrooms are accessible through the main hall; their wooden flooring and large windows make the rooms appear bright and inviting.
The bedrooms don’t have access to en-suite facilities, but two modern bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other one a shower room, are accessible from the hall.
Like the bathroom, the kitchen boasts modern appliances; it is cleverly fitted to make the most of the room’s unusual layout and has access to a small garden.

From the property’s prime position in the West End, both Edinburgh Haymarket Station and the city center can easily be reached either on foot or via public transport.
The area is home to The Filmhouse, the Royal Lyceum and Traverse Theatre as well as famous Usher Hall, with Edinburgh Festival and its world-famous Fringe adding to the lively character each year.
For sports enthusiasts and concertgoers alike, the BT Murrayfield Stadium, home to the Scottish Rugby Union, is also within easy reach.
Priced at £425,000 (€598,542, $660,273), the property is available through Coulters Property.
