Set within a striking Victorian Gothic former school, this newly renovated three-bedroom duplex offers generous, light-filled living over two floors. The double-height open-plan living/kitchen/dining area is the heart of the home, with tall arched windows, high ceilings and a contemporary fitted kitchen ideal for family living or entertaining. The principal bedroom is a spacious suite with fitted storage and an ensuite; two further double bedrooms and two additional bathrooms give flexible sleeping arrangements and plenty of privacy.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, gas central heating from a Worcester boiler (installed 2018), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The building is freehold and managed via a modest service charge (£185pcm) covering communal cleaning, building insurance and safety systems; sellers will cover this property’s full share of a planned roof repair programme.
Buyers should note material drawbacks alongside the many strengths. Original-style single-glazed wooden windows retain period character but can mean higher heat loss and potential future upgrade costs. Council tax is described as expensive, and the surrounding area scores as very deprived — factors to weigh against the property’s central Leith location and strong transport links. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful home that will suit buyers who value period features and generous room sizes but who accept some ongoing maintenance and running costs.
