Read the full agent description
McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this charming two-bedroom, main-door flat, set within a historic former maltings building originally constructed by the Blair family to serve the Craigwell Brewery. The brewery’s remains still stand opposite Campbell’s Close on Calton Road, adding a unique sense of heritage to the setting.
Offered to the market chain-free, the property boasts generous proportions throughout. In addition to two well-sized bedrooms, there is a bright living room with a semi-open-plan kitchen, a spacious box room ideal as a home office or dressing room, and a large, well-appointed bathroom. A particular highlight is access to a beautifully maintained communal garden, an exceptional and highly sought-after feature in the Old Town.
Approached via a charming cobbled lane that evokes a sense of stepping back in time, a short set of steps leads to the private main entrance. The front door opens directly into a spacious living room, offering ample room for both lounge and dining furniture. The space is full of character, with subtle nods to the building’s industrial past, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for entertaining.
The adjoining kitchen is arranged in a semi-open-plan layout and features a range of solid wood base units with wooden worktops. These elements lend a rustic charm that complements the property’s historic character. A door from the kitchen leads out to a small shared courtyard, providing additional natural light and a pleasant outdoor aspect.
The two bedrooms are positioned on either side of the living space. The principal bedroom, located to the right upon entry, offers generous space for a full suite of furniture and benefits from an integrated wardrobe. The second bedroom is similarly well-proportioned. To the rear, the large box room provides excellent flexibility as a study, dressing room, or additional storage space. The accommodation is completed by a spacious shower room, fitted with a contemporary white suite and a large walk-in shower.
To the rear of the building lies the beautifully maintained communal garden, a peaceful oasis and a rare luxury for a city-centre property of this kind. Its prime location, within easy reach of the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Park, Waverley Station, and the Royal Mile, makes this property equally suited as a characterful home or a smart investment opportunity.
