Charming Edinburgh colony cottage hits the market with cute front garden

A rarely available “Edinburgh Colony” cottage has hit the market for offers over £260,000.

The one-bedroom upper villa is in the iconic and historical row of houses at Rosebank near Fountainbridge.

Stone steps lead to the front door of the adorable one-bedroom property which retains many original features.

The interior is simply decorated with clean white tones and classic oak furniture.

The living area leads through to an open plan dining room and a hatch window looking directly into the kitchen.

The adorable double bedroom is complete with cream built in wardrobes surrounding the bed and on the opposite wall with a view looking out to the terraced street and lines of charming cottages.

There is a lush green garden at the front of the property and shared back greens at the back.

The cottage is in the heart of Fountainbridge, a popular area close to the city centre, and the Union Canal with many popular restaurants and shops nearby.

The so-called Edinburgh colonies are some of the most sought after properties in the city.

The Rosebank Cottages were the second set of colony houses built in 1857.

When the properties were originally built, they were intended to be affordable housing for the working classes

Blackadder who are marketing the property describe it as “This is a rarely available and particularly charming "Colonies" style one bedroom upper villa.

“It forms part of the historic Rosebank Cottages located in Fountainbridge and built in 1850’s for ‘Artisan’ workers.

“The accommodation will appeal to a number of buyers due to its location and countless amenities that can be found on the doorstep.

“Externally has a large private garden located to the front.”
