Quiet top-floor one-bedroom in Leith, newly renovated and ready to move into. The flat sits to the rear of a traditional stone tenement, so rooms are bright and the living space feels fresh thanks to recent works, double glazing and gas central heating. Included appliances and floor coverings make it practical for a first-time buyer or immediate let.
The location is a major strength: a short walk to The Shore, shops, cafes and reliable bus and tram links to the city centre and airport. The area’s strong rental demand supports buy-to-let potential, while compact, low-maintenance accommodation suits someone starting out or downsizing.
Be clear about the trade-offs: there is no private outdoor space and the flat is accessed via communal entrance; being top-floor means stair access only. The wider neighbourhood scores high on amenities but is described as very deprived, which can affect long-term resale perceptions and tenant profiles. Overall this is a practical, move-in-ready city flat with good location appeal and clear limitations for buyers seeking outdoor space or a ground-floor home.
