This newly refurbished two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers ready-to-move-in, single-level living in a modern riverside development. The bright open-plan living space flows onto a decked terrace, creating easy indoor–outdoor entertaining and additional usable space. The kitchen is fitted with a central island and integrated appliances, alongside a separate utility room for extra convenience.
Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in mirrored storage; the principal bedroom includes a contemporary en-suite and the second bedroom has direct access to a private rear terrace. A fully tiled main bathroom and good hallway storage complete the internal layout. The property benefits from a secure covered parking space and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home.
Practical costs and location factors are straightforward: the property is freehold, with a factor fee of approximately £1,500 per annum (paid monthly) and additional Port of Leith grounds fees of about £250 per annum. Council tax is above average. As a ground-floor flat, the terraces are modest in size and the aspect may feel less private or secure to some buyers.
Overall, this flat suits first-time buyers, professional couples or investors seeking a low-maintenance, turnkey home near the waterfront. It combines contemporary finishes and outdoor space with sensible running costs and easy access to local transport and coastal amenities.
