Set in vibrant Leith and a short walk from Leith Links, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat combines contemporary styling with practical city living. The southwest-facing reception and kitchen receive afternoon sun, and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower for added convenience. Modern finishes include oak-effect flooring, dove-grey kitchen units with integrated oven and gas hob, double glazing and gas central heating.
The layout is roomy for a two-bed, with both bedrooms at the quieter rear and fitted mirrored wardrobes. The sale includes fitted flooring, window coverings, light fittings and kitchen appliances, making it move-in ready. Rear permit parking (Zone N8) provides off-street convenience for one or two vehicles.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property sits within a mixed commercial street so some daytime street noise is possible, there is no private garden or balcony, and the building is managed via a factor (approx. £140/month, service charge c.£1,680/year). The wider area scores as very deprived in local measures, which may affect resale dynamics and some buyer preferences.
Well suited to first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance city base or investors after a centrally located Leith flat, this home offers a blend of modern interiors, efficient services and excellent transport and amenity links including tram and night buses.
