The property

Wilson Ward is delighted to present to the market this beautifully presented first floor flat situated in a traditional tenement building in the heart of Leith (located off Leith Walk). The well-proportioned accommodation retains some period features and is tastefully decorated throughout. The property is entered into a welcoming hallway, leading to a lovely twin windowed lounge to the rear. The bright kitchen/dining room also situated to the rear has a good range of modern units with wooden work surfaces, tiled splashback, display shelving, an integrated wine fridge and a Belfast sink. The spacious dining area with modern tall radiator provides an excellent entertaining area. There is also a large pantry cupboard housing the fridge freezer and washing machine. To the front of the property there are two double bedrooms, the largest of which has beautiful period cornicework and a shelved press and would be equally suitable for use as a second lounge. The second bedroom is currently used as a double office space but could accommodate a double bed if required. To complete the accommodation is a stunning modern shower room with wall and floor tiling, a chrome heated towel rail, underfloor heating, fitted vanity drawers and a walk-in shower with both a wall mounted and an overhead rainfall shower. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and there is a communal garden/drying green to the rear. Early viewing is highly recommended so as not to miss out on this desirable property. Leith, a historic port and once a separate Burgh, is now a vibrant and fashionable area of the city with a distinctly cosmopolitan ambience. There is a wonderful variety of trendy restaurants (including Michelin starred and many more Michelin guide recommended restaurants), galleries, bars and bistros, all within walking distance. Leith Farmers' Market (on most Saturdays) offers the perfect place to source fresh local produce and nearby cafes make for idyllic weekend brunch spots. Nearby Leith Walk offers an excellent variety of small speciality shops as well as large branches of both Tesco and Lidl. Ocean Terminal with its multi-screen cinema is also nearby, as is the picturesque Newhaven harbour where there is also a David Lloyd Leisure Centre. Closer to home and within walking distance there is the Leith Victoria Swim Centre with swimming pool, fitness classes and gym. There are also various local access points to the city's cycle path network and the Water of Leith walkway for a tranquil riverside walk. Leith Links Park makes for an excellent summer BBQ spot. The City Centre is also within easy reach (either walking or via regular public transport), where you will find the Playhouse Theatre and the recently completed St James Quarter shopping centre featuring prestigious department stores, John Lewis and Harvey Nichols. Schooling is well represented within the area from nursery through to senior level at the highly regarded Leith Academy. The area benefits from an excellent and extensive public transport network including 24 hour buses and the new tram network meaning quick and easy commuting to the City Centre, Haymarket and Edinburgh International Airport. All floor coverings, blinds, hob, oven, microwave, dish washer, wine fridge, fridge freezer and washing machine are all included in the sale.
