The property

Nestled on a quiet residential street in desirable Leith Links, this attractive semi-detached house enjoys an enviable location within easy walking distance of local shops, schools and transport links, and on the doorstep of scenic open parkland and the fashionable Shore. Promising an outstanding family home, the three-bedroom property boasts stylish, well-presented interiors and a desirable open flow of living space and further benefits from a delightful west-facing rear garden, a paved single driveway, and unrestricted on-street parking in the vicinity. The sheltered front door opens into a bright entrance hall with concealed storage and WC. With its classic neutral décor and traditional timber doors and flooring, the hall sets the scene for the tasteful interiors to follow. On your left, an impressively-proportioned living room is flooded with natural light from a wide, front-facing picture window, and enhanced by tasteful, minimalist styling. Versatile floorspace accommodates a useful home office area and flows, via double doors into a dining room (with separate hall access) promising a delightful setting for family meals and entertaining, and opening onto a deck in the sunny rear garden for al fresco dining. Conveniently connected, a kitchen is fitted with contemporary gloss-white cabinetry and a sweep of granite-inspired worktops. Fully-integrated, the stylish design incorporates an integrated raised double oven, a gas hob with a coloured splashback panel, and a dishwasher, whilst an adjoining utility room (with garden access) provides further matching cabinetry with a washing machine, a fridge/freezer, and a fridge. Upstairs, leading off a landing with storage, the home’s three double bedrooms await, all carpeted for comfort, individually styled, accompanied by built-in wardrobes, and continuing the airy dimensions of the living accommodation. Finally, a traditionally-styled, four-piece bathroom features vintage tiling, a basin set into an antique-style dresser, a double-ended, freestanding bathtub, a glazed, corner shower cubicle, and a WC. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout. Externally, the home benefits from a secluded, enclosed west-facing rear garden (with two sheds) featuring a generous lawn, a large decked terrace, and raised, planted beds. A front paved driveway providing private parking is supplemented by unrestricted on-street parking in the vicinity. Leith Links 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 cafés, 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.
