Set on the top floor of Maritime House, this dual-facing one-bedroom flat delivers genuine waterfront character and wide views over The Shore and the Water of Leith. The living/dining room is bright and roomy, with space for both seating and dining; the bedroom is a good double with a fitted wardrobe. A fitted kitchen and white three-piece bathroom complete a straightforward, ready-to-live-in layout.
Practical advantages include private off-street parking, freehold tenure, an established factoring arrangement (approx. £130 per quarter) covering communal maintenance and buildings insurance, and an affordable council tax band. The property is currently served by electric heating and benefits from excellent mobile signal — useful for on-the-go living or short-term lettings.
Notable drawbacks are practical rather than cosmetic: the flat is accessed via a communal staircase (no lift), which may challenge mobility or heavy moving; broadband speeds are slow; and the local area is classified as very deprived, which affects some local services and feel. Heating is electric rather than gas, so running costs can be higher depending on usage and tariffs.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer looking for a compact city home with character and waterside views, or a landlord seeking an investor buy in a sought-after Shore location. A closing date is set for Friday 14th February at 12 noon — allow time for finance or offers to be arranged.
