A rare opportunity to acquire a Traditional Town Flat amidst Edinburgh’s highly desirable “Comely Bank”, with its charming cobbled streets harking back to times past. Occupying second floor within an attractive Blonde Sandstone Tenement building this desirable flat will be of broad appeal, conveniently located for access across Edinburgh.
The well proportioned accommodation comprises, reception hall, bay windowed lounge to the front with pleasing outlook, separate dining/kitchen to the rear, two bedrooms (to the front & rear respectively) whilst the bathroom is located off the reception hall. The property is neatly presented, although the successful purchaser will very likely choose to update to their own style/specification.
There is potential to develop/reconfigure the accommodation (at the new owners expense), subject to acquiring the neccessary planning permission/building warrant etc. The larger walk-in cupboard (which has been used as a small "internal" study) & adjacent hall cupboard offer the possibility of being altered/linked with the adjoining dining recess to form an additional room - perhaps an internal kitchen being formed to allow the existing kitchen to become a 3rd bedroom etc.
Gas central heating is featured. EPC – C. We are advised the property is self-factored. On-street parking is available within a controlled parking zone. There is a communal security door entry system. Communal gardens are located to the rear.
Edinburgh combines its rich history with a vibrant/bustling city featuring a vast array of shopping, bars, restaurants, fine dining, historic attractions, educational institutes together with an extensive public transport network …to name but a few. Residents and tourists actively enjoy city living or holiday visits alike, as befitting its status as Scotland’s Capital. Residential property continues to perform positively with Traditional Town Flats in demand and locations such as “Comely Bank” clearly desirable.

The development is professionally managed with the appointed factors ensuring consistent presentation/maintenance which is clearly evident as one enters the grounds of Fairfield Park.
Entry is via a communal main door security entrance which leads onto a welcoming & notably more spacious (than typical new-build developments today) residents reception hall with either stair or elevator access to the equally spacious 2nd floor communal hallway, off which No 67 is accessed. Internal viewing reveals a pleasingly well proportioned/flexible home with the larger windows attracting both natural light & attractive views, In particular a lengthy reception hall (with good storage off, a stylish additional wc & a welcome fitted utility room) provides access onto the remaining apartments, comprising – a most appealing lounge with dual aspects & a private sheltered balcony which invites one to step outdoors & enjoy the wonderful sea views, a very stylish professionally re-fitted open-plan dining kitchen features an extensive array of high quality base/wall kitchen cabinets complemented by feature worktops & integrated appliances whilst adjacent is a formally separate dining room (previously a 4th bedroom), three further spacious double bedrooms are featured with stylish re-fitted wardrobe storage whilst a most appealing “glossy magazine” style main bathroom features white 2 piece fitments within vanity storage together & large walk-in shower cubicle.

Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY Estate Agents comments… “ Notwithstanding my 36 Years in the Property Industry and the thousands of properties sold on behalf of my clients ...I have also been fortunate to own/live in quite an array of different properties/locations over the years however Fairfield Park reminds me of Luxury Style Flats in Glasgow where I happily lived for a number of years.
The external space of this development one would rarely witness today on similar New-Build Flats as the developers/builders simply cannot resist the lure of profit/more properties versus the unseen value that comes with living amidst a development that actually breathes because of the space in which it is set. Add to that an elevator & the magical sea view aspects (neither of which I had in Glasgow), encouraging one to embrace promenade walks on the best of days or wrap up for those bracing autumn/winter walks where one leans into the wind & rain yet enjoys the exhilaration that only a wild sea can deliver.
In my view, No 67 Fairfield Park is an outstanding sea view home, of very rare 5 Main Apartment style, with its high quality/bespoke interior absolutely ready to move-in and embrace its new owners, offering the many benefits & welcome convenience that flat living provides …and when the New Owners want to do something else, simply lock up & leave …that’s the magic of flat living! ”
