Summary - 49/11, ELBE STREET, EDINBURGH EH6 7HP
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright two-bedroom flat near the Shore and tram — ideal for first-time buyers.
Open-plan living room with good natural light
Set on the first floor of a traditional Leith tenement, this two‑bedroom flat offers a bright, open-plan living space and generous storage in the principal bedroom. Its bay window and large living-room windows bring good natural light, while the communal rear garden provides a welcome outdoor space for a central city address.
The location is a major draw: walking distance to Leith Links, the Shore and a nearby tram stop on Constitution Street. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the flat suited to home working, commuting and city leisure. The property’s compact footprint and period facade will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking central Leith convenience.
Internally the home is tidy but basic: electric heating and single glazing limit energy efficiency and may require upgrading. The layout is efficient but the overall size is small — suited to a single occupant, couple or investor rather than a growing family. There is scope to add value through internal modernisation.
Practical points: permit and metered on-street parking is available; the building is factored with an annual charge of approximately £350 covering communal maintenance. Council tax level is inexpensive. Buyers should note the inner-city neighbourhood profile and weigh the investment upside against local deprivation indicators.
