The property

A deceptively spacious, contemporary TOP FLOOR APARTMENT (Lift) within the quality development of Edinburgh Quay 2, completed some years ago. It enjoys a PRIME CANALSIDE LOCATION at the Union Canal basin, originally known as Port Hamilton. Hall: Open Plan Living/Dining room/ Kitchen; Master Bedroom with en-suite shower-room ; 2nd Double Bedroom; & Bathroom. Gas CH, Double Glazing; UNDERGROUND PARKING. Lower Gilmore Bank occupies a prime city centre location on the South Bank of the Union Canal basin. Originally known as Port Hamilton, it was indeed a busy inland port, primarily transporting coal on barges along the canal. Today, it is an exciting burgeoning regeneration "hot-spot" set literally in the shadows of Edinburgh Castle and part of Edinburgh's fashionable financial quarter. As it is slap bang in the centre, residents' are lucky to have all the Capital's city centre attractions within strolling distance. Practical amenities such as corner shops and "metro" supermarkets are plentiful and whilst most locals walk to their place of work, buses are many and Haymarket Rail Station is just 10 mins' walk. The immediate surrounding vicinity has seen tremendous redevelopment in recent times and on-going investment is evident showing both residential & commercial projects underway again following the "quiet" post 2008. Shrewd buyers whether seeking blue-chip letting investments or a contemporary owner-occupier lifestyle, are now buying into this hugely appealing neighbourhood. On the Third floor of an imposing block and set beside the Canal Basin, this is a spacious (1,100 sqc ft ) apartment. The rooms are especially well-proportioned and have really nice open views; indeed the living room looks out to the west and over towards the canal. There is plenty of potential for the purchaser to introduce their own interior design finishes which could easily add value to the property. There are several new developments around the city just now and their prices reflect the fact that they are brand new. It would be fair to say that if this apartment was not second hand, the price could arguably be £40,000/£50,000 more. As it has been rented out but since upgraded and "spruced up", we believe our fixed price to be attractively set not just for such a prime location but a good specification of finish…..and that rare bonus: Underground Parking. The property has gas central heating, double glazing & integrated kitchen appliances. It is available for immediate occupation. It could be for sale furnished, ask for further details.
