The property

PRICE>>>>>>>>>>BARGAIN!!: This is a contemporary GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT, within a stylish modern development (Edinburgh Quay 2) completed some years ago and enjoying 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. 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. 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 redecorated. However, potential buyers would most likely wish to upgrade the kitchen& bathroom to add value to the property. We believe our fixed price to be attractively set for such a prime location with Underground Parking. The property has gas central heating, double glazing & integrated kitchen appliances. It is available for immediate occupation.
