Outstanding flat with direct views to Arthurs Seat

This is an exceptional property overlooking Arthur's Seat on one of the most scenic streets in Edinburgh - post code EH8 9SQ (so feel free to check it out on google earth). There is a PhD astronomer staying the flat and also a girl working at the Observatory as well. Two vets are departing to be right by the vet school on the outskirts of Edinburgh to save the commute in the final year. We welcome applicants at Masters and PhD level only.

The property is on two floors with two double bedrooms on Level 1 and two double bedrooms in the attic area. Several post-grads have occupied these rooms over the years and everyone has graduated so the rooms carry with them a lot of luck. New durable high end carpet with separate underlay was installed last year ready for the new academic year.

The property is central for everything - only 5 minutes walk to Clerk Street, the shops and the University so you get the feeling of being in the country when you are in the middle of the city.

It is a modern flat with all mod cons (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, microwave), lovely solid oak floorboards, part double glazing (soon full double glazing for maximum energy efficiency) and a jacuzzi bath/shower-room.

From the sitting room, the direct view of the Queen's park, Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat is stunning.

There is a security/damage deposit equal to six weeks rent, plus an equal share of the bills (making it cost effective when divided by 4). There is no Council Tax as long as you are a full time student with a Matriculation number which yo must supply.

The flatmates are looking for a mature person to move in who is clean, quiet and friendly. Also someone who is focused on studies and doesn't have to have loud parties all the time. It is a friendly flat so that also helps. Everyone is respectful of each other's space though. The two remaining students are completing their dissertations.

Please note, because the bills are divided by four they are reasonable. The property has an Energy Performance Certificate rating of C (73). The average rating for EPCs in Scotland is band D (61). The rating has improved since we have upgraded all spot lights to Warm white LED which consume 20% of the original amount of energy (80% more cost effective). The boiler is modern - an Energy Efficient Worcester Greenstar.

We expect applicants to be there until the end of August ready for the new student academic year starting in September. However you are still entitled to terminate the agreement with a minimum of one month's notice albeit we prefer if it you would not so we get the best choice of students in September. We are obviously keen to find tenants that plan to be there longer-term if possible to avoid chopping and changing.

The property is available now for viewings - physical or online. Email applications preferred and we can then arrange a time to Skype, FaceTime or WhatsApp. We are free most afternoons after 3pm to chat. Please email us to let us know when you'd like to chat and/or view the property if the video link isn't sufficient.
