The property

This semi-detached house is a bright and spacious residence in popular Leith Links, set within close proximity to excellent amenities and regular transport links. The home features a living/dining room, a kitchen and utility room, three bedrooms, and a bathroom, as well as a large rear garden with a sunny, southeast-facing aspect. The property requires refurbishing and modernisation, and it has wooden floorboards predominantly throughout that can be primed or carpeted depending upon your preference. Neutral decoration also allows new buyers to easily upgrade the interiors. Inside, an entrance hall welcomes you in before flowing through to the living/dining room on the right. Here, a spacious footprint can accommodate both comfortable lounge furniture and a table and chairs for family meals. This reception area sees lots of natural light from large windows, and is finished with a handsome mantelpiece and surround - a lovely focal point for organising the space. Next door, the kitchen is well-proportioned and light-filled, enjoying a southerly-facing aspect. It has real potential to become a modern feature of the home. Furthermore, it is also supplemented by a utility room, offering rear garden access and a neighbouring store cupboard. A bright three- piece bathroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, a landing (with storage) leads to the three bedrooms, which are comprised of two good-size doubles and a versatile single. The front-facing principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and an airy ambience, whilst the two rear-facing bedrooms enjoy southerly-facing aspects. Double-glazed windows and gas central heating ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. Outside, the property is nestled between fully-enclosed gardens to the front and southeast-facing rear. Unrestricted on-street parking is also available. Extras: to be sold as seen, including two garden sheds. E 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.
