2 (1F4) Bothwell Street, Leith, EH7 5PR

The property

Forming part of a traditional tenement, 2 (1F4) Bothwell Street has been beautifully upgraded with modern finishes and stylish interiors to create the perfect city home for the professional couple. The flat is accessed via a secure, shared communal entrance, with stairs leading to the first floor, and into a welcoming central reception hall. Chic tartan-styled decor sets the tone for the stylish interiors which are mirrored throughout the accommodation. Entering the impressive open plan kitchen/living/dining room, the eye is immediately drawn to the mid-century hearth. Soft grey-toned walls and floors beneath a soaring ceiling, with a decorative cornice, give rise to an airy ambience, enhanced by a large south-facing window, flooding the room with natural light. Separated from the main reception space by a handy breakfast bar, the contemporary designed kitchen boasts sleek cashmere-toned handleless floor and wall mounted units beneath a crisp white contemporary worktop and neatly incorporating appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate utility cupboard (incorporating a washing machine). Across the hallway, the spacious double bedroom (also boasting a bright, open southerly outlook) is characterised by neutral decor, acting as a foil for a striking blue feature wall. The ample room for freestanding furniture includes an alcove with space for wardrobes beneath additional, built-in, high level storage. Finally, the naturally lit, modern family bathroom boasts a contemporary suite including a bath with a luxurious rainwater shower-over. The property benefits from gas central heating and recent double glazing, ensuring comfort and efficiency. Outside, to the rear of the building are charming, south-facing, enclosed communal gardens which have been landscaped with a lawn, paving and gravelled patios. Immediately to the front is unrestricted on-street parking. Easter Road offers an eclectic array of independent shops, pubs, cafes, and eateries. Further amenities, incorporating high-street retail outlets and supermarkets, can also be found in nearby Meadowbank Shopping Park. For local outdoor recreation, the area enjoys scenic open spaces such as Lochend Park, Leith Links and Holyrood Park, home to Edinburgh’s iconic Arthur’s Seat. Due to the area’s easterly location, Portobello’s much-loved sandy seafront is also just a short bus ride away. Sports enthusiasts are well-catered for at Meadowbank Sports Centre with a gym, a sports hall, outdoor pitches and an outdoor running track. With Easter Road adjoining the A1 thoroughfare, the area benefits from excellent transport links across the city and further afield, including 24-hour bus services. Home Report £150,000 EPC: C
