This bright third-floor one-bedroom flat sits in Leith’s sought-after Shore district, offering a compact 503 sq ft of modern open-plan living. The apartment’s living/dining room adjoins a contemporary fitted kitchen, and the well-proportioned bedroom and bathroom complete a straightforward, low-maintenance layout suited to first-time buyers or investors.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, secure stair-entry, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus nearby tram and bus links for quick city access. The building is close to the Water of Leith and Ocean Terminal, with a wide choice of cafés, restaurants and shops on the doorstep. White goods are included in the sale.
Costs and constraints are clear and factual: a service charge of approximately £840 per year (circa £70/month) is payable, and council tax is described as expensive. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived in area-deprivation metrics, which may influence local amenities and longer-term resale dynamics.
The block has external cladding; an EWS1 certificate has been completed and will be provided to the purchaser. The flat is offered in good, well-presented condition but presents an ideal blank canvas for cosmetic updates to personalise finishes and increase value.
