Two Rooms: Friendly & Tranquil Morningside Flat

Hi, and thanks for clicking our ad.!

Overview:
Two comfortable fully furnished rooms (one double, and one single) available in a modern, factored, duplex apartment in the heart of Morningside.

Situated in a tranquil, leafy backwater (no through traffic), and only minutes from the bustle and excellent transport links of Morningside Road.

There are 22 flats in the development, over three blocks, with this flat being one of only four flats in the "Mews" block, accessed via a private stair, with secure main door at ground level.

The flat is not a party flat, and if you like peaceful surroundings & simple home comforts, this should suit you well.

Location & Access
Morningside has a local Waitrose, M&S, Sainsburys, coffee shops, cinema, bars, restaurants; the beautiful Meadows parkland is only ten minutes away.

Close to Meadows and the University of Edinburgh "Central Area" campus. Very convenient for: Kings Buildings; Royal Observatory; Napier Merchiston Campus; Napier Craiglockhart Campus.

The flat is only minutes away from the no.15 bus route which runs every 10 minutes to the University Easter Bush Campus.

And the location is an easy walk or bus access ride in to the city centre.

The Flat:
- four-bedrooms, one of which is used as a permanent home office;
- no adjoining flats - so no noise from neighbours;
- a comfortable lounge with log-burn gas fire;
- large kitchen-diner with usual appliances and all kit for cooking: 2 ovens, a slow cooker; steamer; large double "Ninja" Air Fryer; Nespresso coffee machine; w/m; d/w;

- ample kitchen cupboard / larder storage;
- bathroom with a steel bath (yay!) with shower over (shared with other female lodger);

- engineered oak floors in living areas, and rubber-tiled floors in kitchen and bathrooms;
- good WiFi;
- very quiet neighbours (only one other flat on the stair);
- duplex: my bedroom is on the second floor, with a separate en-suite and small separate lounge area;
- beautiful, shared gardens with benches, pond, and mature trees all around (owls calling occasionally through the night, and woodpeckers busy in the daytime);
- factor deals with garden maintenance, weekly stair cleaning and all external maintenance.

About us:
Easy-going, quiet, live-in landlord (professional / tech & financial services) works mostly from home; sometimes away working in London; and travels most weekends to stay / visit with (female) partner, who lives and works in Perth, and who visits to Edinburgh c. one weekend per month.

We currently have one long-term flat share buddy who has loved living here for the past 2 years, but she will move out at end of April. She is F25, professional (accountant / auditor), and would be happy to provide a glowing reference for the flat.

We keep the flat very clean and tidy – our general approach is "clean as we go…"

We do not run a rota for cleaning - we simply clean up after ourselves, always scan for anything that needs cleaning, and proactively just "get it done" in the moment - "paying it forward" for the benefit of all.

About you:
Looking for friendly, quiet, professional, female flat mates, (24+ preferred) who like a clean, tidy and tranquil environment.

Please note: Female preferred please as we find that 2x females sharing & caring for a shared bathroom works much better :)

Non-smokers only please.

Standard flat share agreement, with 1 month notice either way.

Next steps:
Please drop us a line with a bit about you: your work & work pattern; reason for moving / looking; time horizon etc.

I suggest we then have a quick WA call, and if both happy meet for a brew and in-person viewing!

Thanks!
Richard (& Pip)
