Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian building in the heart of sought-after Leith, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat offers a compact, contemporary urban home. The conversion retains period character outside while delivering modern fixtures inside: a bright lounge, contemporary kitchen and a stylish bathroom. Double glazing and an Energy Rating D make it efficient for city living.
At approximately 477 sq ft, the accommodation is best suited to a first-time buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking low-maintenance city living. The layout includes a generous storage cupboard off the welcoming hallway and two well-proportioned bedrooms. The property is freehold and benefits from a modest factor fee (~£40/month, service charge c.£480), keeping ongoing costs relatively low.
Location is a key asset: the flat sits moments from the Water of Leith footpath and a wide choice of artisan bars, cafés and restaurants. Transport links are quick and the area scores well for mobile and broadband connectivity. There is no recorded flood risk and the property sits within Council Tax Band C.
Buyers should note the home’s compact size (small overall footprint) and some lower ceiling height in the living area consistent with an attic/top-floor conversion. The surrounding area is described as a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood and wider-area statistics indicate higher deprivation levels; this brings vibrancy but may mean local services and streetscape reflect mixed socio-economic conditions. Overall, the flat represents a recently updated, low-upkeep city-base with good rental or first-home potential, provided the modest size and neighbourhood character suit the buyer.
