The property

Located in central Leith, desirably close to the Shore’s attractive waterfront, this one-bedroom first-floor flat enjoys a south-facing corner position within a classic tenement offering access to a shared garden and unrestricted on-street parking. The flat retains much of its period charm and is tastefully presented with subtle contemporary interiors throughout. A secure communal stairwell leads up to the first floor, where the front door opens into an entrance hall with richly varnished wood flooring that features throughout much of the home. From the hall, you step into a wonderfully sunny reception area heightened by classic ceiling cornicing and an open Edinburgh press for display items. Here, a south-facing corner window with a leafy outlook creates a perfect dining alcove, in addition to flexible floorspace for comfortable seating and, if required, a home working area. To the other end of the property, with open access from the hall, is an attractive contemporary kitchen appointed with gloss white cabinetry, a wood-toned worktop, and a useful pantry cupboard. The space is further equipped with an integrated electric oven and hob, a freestanding washing machine and a tall fridge freezer. Also located within the home is a light and airy double bedroom and a modern shower room. The bright shower room incorporates a WC and basin, wall-mounted vanity storage and a shower enclosure, offset by white tiling with chic mosaic detailing. New efficient electric wall-mounted heaters (with adjustable thermostats and safety cut offs) and full double glazing ensure optimum comfort within the home. Externally, residents of the tenement share access to a rear garden and onstreet parking in the immediate vicinity is conveniently unrestricted. Located just two miles northeast of the city centre, the historic and vibrant district of Leith is characterised by an eclectic mix of bars, cafés, and eateries. The area also benefits from a wealth of retail outlets, including Ocean Terminal shopping centre, which hosts a wide range of high street stores, as well as family restaurants, a 24-hour gym and a multiplex cinema. Leith’s rich cultural scene is further enhanced by annual festivals, live music venues, galleries, and artists’ studios. The district also encompasses the Shore: a fashionable waterfront with an array of pubs and restaurants, including awardwinning restaurants. Amidst the bustle of Leith are various tranquil green spaces, such as Leith Links and Claremont Park, while Leith Victoria Swim Centre provides indoor sport and leisure facilities including a pool, fitness studios and a gym. Edinburgh city centre is easily accessible by bus, day and night, and there is also a direct bus link to Edinburgh International Airport. Furthermore, the tram line is currently being extended through Leith to provide another swift connection through the city centre all the way to the airport. The school catchment area covers early years, primary, and secondary education. Epc Band: E Council Tax Band: A Tenure: Freehold
