Characterful 2-bed freehold with study and generous open-plan living in Leith.
Extremely large 1,379 sq ft second-floor Georgian apartment
Set on one of Leith’s most sought-after streets, this exceptionally large second-floor Georgian apartment offers 1,379 sq ft of lateral living with high ceilings and generous proportions. The open-plan sitting room and kitchen stretches almost 30ft, creating a bright, sociable heart for everyday life and entertaining. High windows, period detailing and a historic stone façade combine with a contemporary kitchen and well-appointed bathrooms for a blend of character and modern convenience.
The layout is particularly versatile: a principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite, a second double bedroom, a separate study/family room and ample built-in and roof storage provide genuine flexibility for home working, guests or family life. The property is presented in excellent condition throughout and benefits from secure entry, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical considerations are straightforward: tenure is freehold and there is no flood risk, but parking is on-street by permit only and the property falls in Council Tax band F, which is expensive. The immediate neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan, centred on the Shore’s restaurants, cafés and shops, and is well connected with tram and bus links to the city centre and airport. Note the wider area has pockets of high deprivation despite strong local amenities.
This is a rare city apartment that genuinely feels like a home — spacious, characterful and move-in ready. It will suit buyers seeking large, flexible accommodation in a vibrant, waterside part of Edinburgh, and those wanting a character property with modern interiors close to cafés, transport and leisure facilities.
