KEYS TO KNOW

12/7 Roseneath Terrace has a larger box room, which could be used as an occasional single bedroom.

It has a good sized sitting room with central fireplace and bay window, and the south-facing kitchen has space enough for a dining table.

A third floor flat at 7 Bryson Road in Polwarth, also in Edinburgh, has an attractive living room with a feature fireplace. The kitchen is a very good size, with space for a dining alcove and a larder storage cupboard. The box room is just big enough to fit a single bed but would also make a useful study.

There is also access to a partially floored attic up a Ramsay ladder, which may attract those looking for expansion. Where is it: 42/8 Woodburn Terrace, Morningside, Edinburgh. What is it: One-bedroomed thirdfloor flat in a traditional tenement. Entrance hall, living room, dining kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom, boxroom and utility room.

Good points: The flat is beautifully presented and has the luxury of space. The kitchen has a separate plumbed utility room, window seat and an alcove big enough for a sofa. The box room accommodates a home office and there are big storage cupboards in the hall. Period features include sash and case windows, panelled doors and decorative plasterwork. Both the kitchen and the bedroom have pretty fireplaces. A Morningside address is sought after in the city.

Bad points: The box room is a little too small to make a second bedroom. And the price reflects the popular location.

Price: Offers over £245,000.
