1 bed 1 bath Flat
Stylish ground-floor one-bed with canal views and secure parking, ideal for first-time buyers..
Floor-to-ceiling windows with direct canal views
This bright one-bedroom ground-floor flat sits moments from the Union Canal in Fountainbridge, offering low‑maintenance city living with secure underground parking. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan living and dining space with light and frame pleasant canal views, while upgraded finishes give the apartment a contemporary feel.
The kitchen is well-equipped with integrated appliances and a wine fridge, and the bedroom features built-in storage and tasteful panelling. A useful hallway cupboard currently configured as a home office adds practical workspace without compromising living space. Residents benefit from double glazing, gas central heating and lift access from the allocated garage space.
Notable costs and context are set out plainly: the development carries an average service charge of around £2,000 per year and the wider area is classified as very deprived, with a mix of student and professional residents. Council tax is moderate. These factors affect running costs and the local market character, though the property’s freehold tenure and strong central location underpin its appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-specified, low‑maintenance apartment with parking.
Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking a stylish city base with secure parking and easy canal-side access, who is comfortable with communal charges and the urban neighbourhood mix.
