3A Market Street, Musselburgh, East Lothian, EH21 6PS

McEwan Fraser is delighted to offer a ¼ share in this fantastic two-bedroom ground-floor flat located on Market Street by the banks of the River Esk. The Old Bridge over the river is mere moments away and Musselburgh High Street is easily accessible by foot. The property has two generous bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a separate kitchen. Further benefits include double glazing and resident parking.

The accommodation is focused on the living room, which is bright, neutrally decorated, and finished with laminate flooring. There is plenty of space for a variety of different furniture arrangements and a new owner will have plenty of flexibility to create their ideal entertaining space.

The kitchen is accessed from the living room and enjoys a full range of contemporary base and wall-mounted units that are set against a tiled splash-back. There is plenty of prep and storage space for the most dedicated of home cooks.

Bedroom one is the larger of the two bedrooms and is currently utilised as a home office. It has plenty of space for a full suite of bedroom furniture. Bedroom two is a further well-proportioned double. Both bedrooms are bright, neutrally decorated, and enjoy integrated wardrobe space. The bathroom is partially tiled and has a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath. There is a handy storage cupboard in the hall.

The property offers fantastic value for money and early viewing is highly recommended. Quarter share flats of this standard are rare.
