The property

Easily manageable top floor flat occupying a quiet position in the popular Shore district of Leith. Although perhaps now in need of a degree of cosmetic upgrading, the property is ideal for the first time buyer and is an attractive opportunity for the investor. Entered off a shared stairway with secure entry, the property is reached on the third floor, where a small entrance hall (with storage cupboard) and stairs lead up to the top floor. The accommodation here comprises: an open plan lounge/kitchen; two bedrooms (one with storage); a three-piece bathroom with overhead shower. There is also an external private drying area/balcony, accessed off the hall and the flat benefits from double glazing. Zoned permit parking is available on Maritime Street and in the adjacent streets. Approximately two miles north of Edinburgh city centre, the Shore was once a thriving port at the heart of the capital's maritime industry. The Shore has undergone significant regeneration to become one of the most desirable postcodes in the capital. The Shore is renowned for its buzzing arts and social scene, with galleries and boutiques, trendy bars and award-winning eateries. For foodies, Leith Market (every Saturday) is the perfect place to pick up fresh local produce. The Shore is served by an excellent range of local services and amenities, particularly at the Foot of the Walk and Great Junction Street. Ocean Terminal shopping centre offers a wealth of shopping and leisure facilities. The property enjoys fantastic public transport links including easy access to the tramline and bus services running day and night to the city centre. It also provides swift and easy to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh International Airport, and the M8/M9 motorway networks.
