Bright two-bed with secure parking and communal gardens near waterfront amenities.
Ninth-floor apartment with private balcony and Firth of Forth views
This ninth-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits in a contemporary riverside development in Newhaven, offering a private balcony with direct views over the Firth of Forth. The open-plan living/dining room and principal bedroom both benefit from floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with light. Practical features include lift access, secure underground parking, communal landscaped gardens and in-flat utility/storage cupboards.
The layout includes two double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a separate bathroom, making the flat ready to move into for buyers seeking low-maintenance city living. The property has gas central heating and double glazing; internal room sizes are typical for an urban apartment and the overall footprint is around 910 sq ft. The flat is currently empty and images include virtual staging to illustrate potential finishes.
Running costs and local context are important here: there is a factoring fee of approximately £1,764 per year (about £147 per month) covering communal upkeep, lift maintenance and buildings insurance. Council Tax is Band E and described as above average. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which may influence future resale or rental demand despite the waterfront location and good transport links.
This home will suit first-time buyers who prioritise a modern riverside setting, secure parking and low day-to-day maintenance, and who are comfortable accepting service charges and higher council tax in exchange for onsite facilities and location. Investors should note the area classification when modelling rental yields or capital growth.
