Description

We have two girls in the flat and three guys currently. One girl is departing to get a place closer to work so we are looking for a replacement girl to balance the flat and give Hayley another girl flatmate to talk to, not just guys!!

ABOUT THE ROOM AND PROPERTY:

South facing bright double room with desk, large pine wardrobe, pine bed and now a pine with nice drawers. Solid oak floorboards and painted shutters.

THE FLATMATES

We have remaining an interesting, respectful and clean/tidy group. Everyone is working - we have Nick an engineer specializing in flood management for a local authority, Addy a wind turbine engineer developing his own new business, Jess an EngD Postgrad Student specialising in Applied Photonics and Cain who works at Dynamic Earth, after short stroll away through the Park.

CENTRAL LOCATION:

The Property is special being a period property set immediately abutting the King's Park (aka Holyrood Park) with direct unobstructed views and access. Whilst you are amidst nature you and will feel like you are living in the countryside, the property is also so close to the shops, University, Pollock Halls and the Parliament/King's Palace just down the hill. The ultimate in convenience living! Feel free to google earth EH8 9SQ to see the leafy street and note the distances below of important places from the property:

SAINSBURYS- 0.3 mile
HALLS OF RESIDENCE - 0.4 mile
TESCO & LIDL- 0.5 mile
FESTIVAL THEATRE (musicals, dramas, ballets, operas, comedy shows, live music and family events)- 0.6 mile
UNIVERSITY OLD COLLEGE & MCEWAN HALL- 0.7 mile
CITY CENTRE/WAVERLEY STATION - 0.9 mile.

THE KITCHEN AND ACCOMMODATION:

The kitchen is also well equipped with a Poggenpohl kitchen including top of the range SIEMENS dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, additional BOSCH fridge/freezer, BOSCH oven/SMEG hob, microwave, real granite worktops, solid oak floorboards and comfy sofa.

There is also a walk-out deck and garden (nice for BBQ's in the Summer) from the kitchen.

There are two shared bathrooms in the property although in practise the downstairs is typically used by two Tenants and the upstairs by the remaining three Tenants.

THE PRICE

The room is £850 pcm plus an equal share of the bills. Expect to pay about £975 all in for rent, Council Tax, Broadband, Gas, Electricity and TV License. The Gas/Electricity is subject to consumption so the £975 average Standing Orders you pay per month is just a guide and you could pay slightly more or less than £975. All other rooms are now let. There is LED lighting throughout and a new boiler to keep bills as economical as possible.

Council Tax is split five ways although if there is a Masters or PhD student in the property, there is 25% discount applied to the Council Tax rate which reduces the price each person pays. If a mature student moves in they would still be expected to contribute 1/5 Council Tax to keep things simple.

If the flat and location suits you, feel free to contact William, the registered Landlord. A WhatsApp video call can then be arranged prior to a physical viewing with the Tenants.
