Summary - 53/10, BALFOUR STREET, EDINBURGH EH6 5DP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact Leith home with communal garden and excellent transport links.
Top‑floor one‑bed flat with high ceilings and period features
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Leith, this top‑floor one‑bed flat pairs period character with modern comforts. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and a working fireplace give the bright living room strong curb appeal and a warm, welcoming feel.
The accommodation includes a contemporary kitchen, a well‑proportioned double bedroom, and a stylish bathroom with shower over bath. Gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the flat practical for everyday city living or rental use. A well‑kept communal garden provides outdoor space off the building.
Internally the apartment is small overall (approx 340 sq ft) and best suited to a first‑time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor seeking a compact city home. Light refurbishment — particularly kitchen or bathroom updates — would add value and modern comfort. Council Tax Band B and freehold tenure are practical advantages.
Be aware the property sits within a very deprived area classification; buyers should weigh local social and economic factors alongside Leith’s strong amenities, transport links and café/bar scene. No private garden is included — outdoor space is communal only.
