Summary - 6/1, MARITIME STREET, EDINBURGH EH6 6SB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large characterful one-bedroom in The Shore close to restaurants and transport.
Approximately 90m² (c.1001 sq ft) of generous living space
Set within a B‑listed former whisky bond, this unusually large one‑bed flat offers more than most city centre apartments. The apartment spans around 90m² (c.1001 sq ft) with generous rooms, exposed stonework, sash windows and original character that give it a distinctive, loft‑style feel. The open‑plan living and kitchen area is ideal for entertaining while the bedroom provides excellent storage and comfortable proportions. Off‑street parking is included — a rare and practical benefit in The Shore.
The bathroom is equipped with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle, a convenient feature for daily living. Practical details include freehold tenure, an EPC rating of C, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Transport links and a wide choice of cafés, restaurants and amenities are all within easy walking distance, placing this home at the heart of one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant waterfront districts.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building; any alterations will be restricted and can be more costly. Parts of the accommodation show signs of wear — some peeling paint and industrial finishes in the living area — so cosmetic refurbishment is likely. The wider neighbourhood is described as very deprived and a cosmopolitan, student‑oriented area, which may affect long‑term rental and resale expectations for some purchasers.
This property suits someone seeking a characterful, spacious city home with substantial scale and strong connectivity, and who accepts the constraints of listed status and potential updating work. For those prioritising originality and location over turnkey condition, it presents a compelling opportunity.
