Summary - 12/2, LEITH WALK, EDINBURGH EH6 5AA
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Characterful one-bedroom raised ground flat on Leith Walk — ideal first home or rental.
Freehold raised ground-floor flat, period features and high ceilings
A compact raised ground-floor flat set within a handsome Georgian tenement on Leith Walk, blending period detail with practical city living. High ceilings, decorative cornicing and a bright reception room give a feeling of space despite the apartment’s modest footprint. The double bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear and benefits from a modern en-suite shower room.
At roughly 503 sq ft this is a straightforward, well-presented home for a first-time buyer who wants character and good transport links, or an investor seeking an easy-to-manage buy-to-let in a busy rental area. The flat includes useful loft storage, a fitted kitchen with appliances, and access to a small shared front garden. Residents’ parking is available nearby rather than private allocated parking.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property sits on Leith Walk with local shops, transport and amenities on the doorstep, making day-to-day living convenient. Council Tax is modest (Band B), and the EPC is C, reflecting reasonable energy performance for the building.
Buyers should note the compact overall size and that the setting is a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with a high local population density; street activity and occasional noise are likely. The area is described as very deprived, which affects long-term social indicators though it also supports steady rental demand. The front garden is small and parking is communal/nearby rather than private. This flat offers characterful city living with clear potential, provided buyers accept central-Edinburgh compromises.
