Set within a traditional Leith tenement, this one-bedroom first-floor flat offers clear potential for a buyer prepared to renovate. The apartment includes a bright living room with a gas fire, a double bedroom, compact shower room and direct access to a communal rear garden. Its 450 sq ft layout suits single occupancy or a couple seeking an affordable city base.
The location is a principal strength: excellent bus and tram links give fast access to the city centre, and local amenities and cafés are within easy walking distance. Double glazing and electric heating are already fitted, and included fixtures comprise fitted carpets, floor coverings and cooker (all sold as seen, no warranty).
The property requires complete upgrading throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical updates are needed including modernisation of kitchen, bathroom and heating. Buyers should allow budget for renovation and replacement of appliances where necessary. On-street permit parking and a communal garden add practical value but external maintenance may be required.
This home will particularly suit first-time buyers on a budget, buy-to-let investors targeting the Leith rental market, or handypersons seeking a renovation project in a well-connected area. Its freehold tenure and competitive asking price make it an accessible opportunity, provided purchasers accept the refurbishment workload.
