Occupying a prominent position at the corner of Whitehill Street and Garthland Drive, this truly substantial first-floor flat forms part of a beautifully maintained red sandstone tenement. With secure door entry, a well-tended communal stairwell, and attractive rear gardens, the property enjoys an enviable setting in a sought-after location.Flooded with natural light throughout the day thanks to its desirable south and west-facing orientation, the flat is being offered to the market for the first time in over 46 years.
