A compact, characterful one-bedroom flat on the first floor of a traditional sandstone tenement, moments from Leith Links and excellent tram and bus connections. The sitting room receives good natural light, features original high ceilings, wooden flooring and a tiled fireplace, while an open-plan kitchen with a freestanding breakfast bar provides practical everyday space. The double bedroom is generous for the size and includes a wash-hand basin, with shower room and separate WC accessed off the hall.
Practical benefits include double glazing, a secure entry system, shared rear garden with drying area, and permit parking in surrounding streets. Several fixtures are included in the sale (curtains, fitted flooring, white goods, breakfast bar); certain wicker light fittings and shelving are excluded. The property is presented in good order for a small city flat but internal modernisation could enhance comfort and value.
This flat suits a single occupier, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a compact, low-maintenance city base close to shops, cafés and transport. Note the flat is small (c. 431 sq ft) and in a mixed-use, densely urban neighbourhood; external amenity is communal rather than private. The wider Leith area is lively with strong rental demand, but the immediate area is classified as very deprived — buyers should weigh local socio-economic factors alongside the excellent location and transport links.
