Positioned on cobbled Lorne Street, which runs between vibrant Easter Road and Leith Walk, this third-floor two-bedroom tenement flat offers a traditional home at the heart of Leith. Perfect for first-time buyers and investors, the property has fantastic amenities practically on its doorstep, and is a short walk into the city centre. The flat yields elevated views across the city and has retained a charming selection of original features, including panelled doors and intricate cornices. A secure entry-phone system allows access to the shared stairwell, whose traditional cantilevered staircase curves up to the bright top-floor landing. Welcoming you into the flat is a carpeted hall, which incorporates a useful walk-in cupboard. The south-facing living/dining room overlooks the shared garden to the rear and boasts another walk-in store and a press cupboard.

The principal double bedroom is particularly impressive, with gold-painted cornices and an exquisite ceiling rose.
