Top-floor Victorian tenement flat with wide southerly views across the Castle and Calton Hill, presented in move-in condition. The bright lounge features large windows and a feature fireplace; the accommodation includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, and a fitted kitchen with pantry storage. Gas central heating and double glazing are fitted throughout.
At roughly 509 sq ft, the flat is compact and best suited to a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor seeking central Leith living rather than a family needing extensive space. The property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac close to excellent local amenities, frequent bus and tram links and green space at Leith Links.
Notable positives include panoramic city views, private access to a small external courtyard and no factoring charges. Important considerations: the overall footprint is small with one bathroom only, and the surrounding postcode is classified as very deprived — buyers should check local services and rental demand if investing. Internal inspection is recommended to confirm finish and storage.
Freehold tenure and a low council tax band add practical value for owner-occupiers. For buyers wanting a central Leith base with character features and good transport links, this top-floor flat offers an attractive, compact package with scope for light cosmetic updating if desired.
