Tucked on a quiet Leith street, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, low-maintenance city base for a first-time buyer or young professional. The apartment sits in a traditional stone tenement with high ceilings and sash windows that preserve period character, while a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom provide everyday convenience.
The layout is efficient: entrance hall with built-in storage, a bright lounge/dining area open to the kitchen, a double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom with shower over bath. Gas central heating and an EPC rating of C mean running costs are reasonable, and excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit home working or streaming.
Practical advantages include permit/metered on-street parking and very good transport links — the nearby tram stop provides quick access to the city centre and Edinburgh Airport. Local amenities are abundant, from shops and cafes to healthcare and leisure facilities, making day-to-day life simple.
Important considerations: the flat is small (approximately 327 sq ft) and has no private outdoor space, so it will suit buyers prioritising location over generous internal floorspace. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local streetscape and investment outlook. While well presented, the property is best viewed in person to assess room sizes and any need for cosmetic updating.
