Early mornings along the Promenade will find walkers, joggers, rowers, swimmers…even the Scottish Beach Volleyball team training! Leisure options for young and older are also well catered for with several parks (Rosefield is literally round the corner); the famous Victorian swimming baths; tennis & golf courses all near at hand…not forgetting the well-loved Portobello Beach.

The Property Part of a handsome stone built Victorian Villa this is a most appealing UPPER FLAT offering huge potential. Flats of this size and proportion rarely ever come to the market and potential buyers looking to create a home from their own interior design ideas, this might just be "the one". The current owners have only just completed a major roof repair which is a significant saving for the new owners. That said, this will be a substantial project. With so many rooms there are a number of options as to how the layout is refigured. Double glazing & Gas central heating is currently in place. The garden to the rear is enclosed (child-safe) and also has plenty of potential to landscape.
