Summary - 4/1, KING STREET, EDINBURGH EH6 6TN
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful period home with parking and communal garden near the Shore.
Ground‑floor, step‑free two‑bedroom flat, 979 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat occupies a generous 979 sq ft within a B‑listed former Leith Hospital, combining high ceilings, large sash windows and contemporary fittings. The open-plan living room with bay window and modern kitchen feels bright and spacious, while two double bedrooms (principal with en‑suite) and a separate utility room provide practical everyday living.
The flat is step-free and benefits from an allocated off‑street parking space and access to well‑kept communal garden areas — rare extras for central Leith. Its freehold tenure and central Shore location place cafés, restaurants, the Water of Leith walkway and frequent transport links close at hand, appealing to first‑time buyers or investors seeking a centrally positioned rental opportunity.
Important practical points are clear: the property is B‑listed, so external and certain internal alterations will be restricted and could complicate works or modernisation. Broadband speeds are average and the wider neighbourhood is scored as very deprived, which may affect long‑term growth or rental demand in parts. There is no recorded flood risk and mobile signal is excellent.
Viewing is recommended for those who value period character with high ceilings and generous rooms but also understand the responsibilities of owning a listed property in an urban area. The home is presented in good order, yet any buyer should factor listed‑building consent requirements into renovation or improvement plans.
