Light-filled, well-proportioned two-bedroom flat in a late 18th-century C-listed Georgian building beside Leith Links. The southwest-facing living/dining room feels spacious for the size, and both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. Gas central heating and traditional sash-and-case windows retain period character while providing everyday comfort. The home is offered chain free and is ready for immediate occupation.
This flat suits first-time buyers or city professionals who want a manageable, characterful home within excellent local transport links — tram access to the city centre and airport is on the doorstep, and neighbourhood amenities are plentiful. The separate galley-style kitchen, tidy bathroom and good built-in storage make the layout practical for day-to-day living.
Buyers should note the property’s C-listed status and location in a conservation area. Listed status will restrict changes to the building’s exterior and certain internal features, and may complicate refurbishment plans. There is no private garden and outdoor space is limited to nearby Leith Links and street areas. Parking is on-street with a controlled permit (Zone 8).
Overall this is a compact, characterful flat offering immediate usability and strong local connectivity. It represents a straightforward step onto the property ladder for someone prioritising location, period features and low-maintenance city living — with the caveat that any larger-scale alterations will be constrained by listed/building controls.
