High ceilings and period character throughout
Open-plan living room and fitted kitchen

This compact two-bedroom flat in a traditional red sandstone tenement on Sloan Street offers an affordable city-base in sought-after Leith. With high ceilings and period detail, the home feels larger than its 462 sq ft suggests and suits a first-time buyer wanting central access or an investor seeking a straightforward let with strong local demand.
Accommodation is arranged around an open-plan sitting room and fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. Practical benefits include gas central heating, fast broadband potential (1,000 Mbps), full mobile signal and a communal drying green. All window furnishings, floor coverings and appliances are included in the sale.
Key compromises are the flat’s small internal area and some visible wear internally — carpets and décor need updating. Parking is on-street by permit (zone N7) rather than private off-street spaces. The property lies in a high-amenity but formally very deprived area, so buyers should balance location convenience against wider neighbourhood socio-economic factors.
The flat is offered freehold with no factor and an EPC rating of C. No warranties are provided on fixtures or appliances; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on condition and measurements. For a buyer seeking an affordable entry into Leith or an investor after a well-located rental, this property delivers central convenience and period character with scope for value-adding cosmetic improvement.
