This impressive dual aspect first floor flat forms part of an B-listed building in the heart of The Shore district of Leith, steeped in history and surrounded by superb amenities and transport links. Offering generous and flexible accommodation the property offers an enviable lifestyle in one of Edinburgh’s most fashionable neighbourhoods.
