The property

Set within a conservation area, this bright and spacious one bedroom, first-floor flat forms part of a traditional tenement building in Edinburgh’s sought-after Leith Walk. 360* Virtual Tour Available The property offers its new owners a flexible layout to easily convert it to a two-bedroom flat. The superb location means a wealth of thriving amenities, bars, and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as idyllic green spaces and a nearby tram stop on Balfour Street. Reached via a shared entrance and stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall with light neutral décor and wood-inspired flooring, found throughout most of the property. The hall also provides built-in storage before leading through to the living room. This reception area continues the style of the hall, providing buyers with a blank canvas that is easy to dress. It is well-proportioned for a variety of lounge and dining furnishings; plus, it is brightly illuminated by a southeast-facing window, set beside a shelved recess. In the dining kitchen, spacious dimensions accommodate a table and chairs, alongside generous cabinet storage and sweeping worksurfaces. It has an attractive look, and it comes with an integrated oven and gas hob, a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine. The airy double bedroom affords enough space for various bedroom furniture pieces, as well as a home workstation. The property is completed by a WC and a separate two-piece shower room. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. Conveniently, controlled permit parking (Zone 2) is available in the vicinity. Alternative layout - (be sure to check out our alternative floor plan design and CGI images) The flat offers wonderful flexibility to be used as a two-bedroom city home. The most cost-effective alternative to its current layout is to turn the rear dining kitchen into Bedroom 1 and turning the current living room into an open plan lounge/ dining area/ fitted kitchen, creating one large sociable space for living, dining, and cooking (see the alternative floor plan on the back page). Please note: all changes will be subject to planning consent.
