the South of the City with mature established communal gardens,
garage storage shed, and parking area, No onward chain and a share

The highly sought after apartments at Gilmerton Court were

by renowned Cambridge architect and illustrator Peter Boston who

buildings of the time.

broad, wall to wall windows that fill the generous rooms with
light, without compromising privacy as some floor to ceiling
windows can. The accommodation briefly comprises a large entrance
hall with two large cupboards providing excellent storage.

benefits from a sliding door onto the balcony. The kitchen
overlooks the communal gardens and has been fitted with a range of
base and wall mounted units with additional space for an oven with
extractor over, washing machine, dishwasher and fridge
freezer.
Two of the bedrooms are doubles and have built in wardrobes
while the third makes a single bedroom, that could be used as a
bright home office study. The bathroom completes the accommodation
and has been fitted with a white three piece white suite with an
electric shower over the bath.
The property has use of the attractive, well maintained
communal gardens. There is a secure ground floor storeroom for the
