Wider area shows higher deprivation — consider neighbourhood factors
A bright, south-facing first-floor flat in Leith, a short walk from Ocean Terminal and the Shore’s cafés and restaurants. The apartment offers an open-plan living, dining and kitchen with patio doors onto a covered balcony — ideal for semi-al fresco dining and afternoon sun. Both double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; the master includes an en-suite shower room. An allocated secure underground parking space and landscaped communal terrace gardens add practical outdoor space in this urban setting.
Practical running costs are clear: gas central heating, double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances are included, while an approximate service charge of £1,800 per year covers communal maintenance, landscaping, lifts and building insurance. The property is freehold and comes with a Home Report valuation above the asking price, giving some immediate equity for a buyer prepared to move quickly.
Location is a major selling point — cinema, gym and retail at Ocean Terminal plus the Shore’s dining scene are all within a few minutes’ walk. Good public transport links and local amenities are plentiful. That said, the wider area records higher-than-average deprivation and council tax costs are above average; buyers sensitive to neighbourhood profile or ongoing tax bills should factor this in.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or professional couples looking for a convenient, well-proportioned urban home with some outdoor space and parking. It is presented in modern condition but, as with most communal developments, prospective purchasers should budget for ongoing service charges and check the home report for detailed mechanical or structural notes.
