The property

Part of a traditional tenement situated in Leith Links, this southwest-facing first-floor flat offers a desirable setting in the capital, close to excellent amenities and regular transport links. The one- bedroom (plus box room) property promises large, light-filled rooms, including a bay-windowed living room and a kitchen/dining room. Whilst the property requires modernisation, it remains an exciting prospect for city professionals, first-time buyers, and buy-to-let investors especially with its sought-after location. Accessed via a secure entry system and shared stairwell, the flat's front door opens into a hall with two built-in cupboards. The living room is to the left, fronted by a southwest-facing bay window that affords beautiful views to Arthur's Seat, Calton Hill, and Edinburgh Castle. This neutrally decorated reception area has generous dimensions for a great choice of lounge furniture, and is finished by a focal-point fireplace and intricate cornice work. The kitchen/dining room is to the rear of the home, with an equally spacious footprint to accommodate a table and chairs. It is fitted with cabinets and workspace, and has access to a walk-in pantry cupboard and a utility room. A freestanding gas cooker, a washing machine, and a fridge/freezer are included. The double bedroom is across the hall, enjoying light decor and a fitted carpet. It is well-proportioned and has leafy views over the rear garden. There is also a versatile box room/study for creative use. A bright three-piece shower room, with a built-in cupboard, completes the flat. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating ensure year-round comfort. Outside, residents have access to a large communal garden that is predominantly laid to lawn. Parking in the area is also on street and unrestricted. Extras: to be sold as seen, including all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, a gas cooker, a washing machine, and a fridge/freezer. C. Leith Links, Edinburgh Situated approximately two miles northeast of the city centre, the area of Leith Links forms part of Edinburgh's increasingly popular Leith district, which recently featured on The Times' list of Coolest places to live in Britain'. The Port of Leith, with its proud identity and sense of community, boasts a fascinating heritage, with many of the old bonded-warehouses and grand merchant buildings having been given a new lease of life as part of a comprehensive regeneration project. Residents enjoy the open green spaces of Leith Links and Claremont Park right on their doorstep. These are home to children's play areas, football pitches, tennis courts, a cricket pavilion, and a community croft. Meanwhile, the services and amenities around Great Junction Street and Leith Walk are minutes' walk away, and just around the corner is The Shore: a cosmopolitan hotspot of artisan cafes, trendy bars, traditional pubs, and award-winning restaurants. More extensive shopping is available at Ocean Terminal shopping centre, which accommodates a cinema complex, a 24-hour gym and over fifty high-street stores. Primary and secondary schooling is provided locally and the area benefits from fantastic public transport links travelling across the city and beyond, as well as swift and easy access to the A1 and Edinburgh City Bypass. In addition, a tram link is currently under construction along Constitution Street, which will provide the area with a direct commute through the city centre to Edinburgh International Airport once complete.
