Set on the ground floor of a handsome Victorian tenement, this two-bedroom lower villa offers classic period features and scope to personalise. The principal bedroom benefits from a large bay window that floods the room with light, while the reception room and tall ceilings retain original character. The property includes private front and communal rear gardens and on-street parking.
The interiors require full refurbishment, making this a clear project for buyers who want to add value. The layout is practical — two double bedrooms, a reception room, kitchen and bathroom across approximately 639 sq ft — and the building’s traditional proportions give good scope for sympathetic upgrades. Fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings and kitchen appliances are included in the sale.
Location is a strong selling point: Leith Links and local shops, schools, bus and tram links are within walking distance, with a short drive to the city centre and Ocean Terminal. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or modern living needs.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the flat needs renovation throughout, and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale pace. On-street parking only and a single bathroom are practical considerations for some households. Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a period home to renovate and personalise.
