72 (2f2) Madeira Street, Leith, EH6 4AU

The property

Positioned enviably close to the picturesque Water of Leith, as well as the Shore's exclusive waterside bars and eateries, this two bedroom (plus a box room) second floor flat boasts a highly popular city address. Set within a handsome Victorian tenement and enjoying airy, well-proportioned accommodation, the flat is presented in an attractive move-in condition, with fresh newly painted and newly carpeted interiors, and retains much of its authentic period charm. Approached via a communal stairwell with secure entry, the front door opens into a welcoming and spacious entrance hall laid with original timber flooring and featuring handy built-in storage and a traditional clothes pulley. The large, southerly-facing living room has been newly carpeted and is beautifully accentuated by a ceiling rose and cornicing of exquisite intricacy. Adding to the room's period character is a feature fireplace with a colourful tiled insert. Accessed from the reception area is a useful box room for storage or a possible home study area. Across the hall is a sizable kitchen with a sociable area for seated dining. Though the room could benefit from some development, it attractively retains its antique hardwood flooring and is equipped with an array of fitted base units. The flat also boasts two good-sized double bedrooms, both ornamented with classic cornicing and flawlessly carpeted for maximum comfort. The largest bedroom benefits from a sunny southerly-facing aspect via a window with a richly-toned shuttered surround, whilst the second bedroom enjoys a tranquil rear garden outlook and a charming feature fireplace. Completing the accommodation on offer, and presented with luxurious marble-effect tiling, is a stylish bathroom. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, shared access to a delightful walled rear garden and unrestricted on-street parking. The historic port of Leith lies approximately 3 miles north-east of Edinburgh city centre. At its heart is the Shore area offering an array of bars, cafés and Michelin star restaurants as well as a weekly farmer's market and the popular Pitt Street Food Market. HOME REPORT £240,000.
