    About the property

    SOLD STC 

    Nestled peacefully within the delightful and popular Leith Links colonies, this three-bedroom end terrace double upper villa represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful period home, brimming with unrivalled charm, in simply stunning move-in condition.

    The property is accessed via a wrought-iron gate and a private west-facing front garden (which is screened by high privet hedge), with a pathway leading to the front door. On entering, you are greeted by a traditional entrance vestibule complete with original floor tiles, from here a staircase ascends to a welcoming reception hall. The spacious sitting room is bathed in natural light from recessed windows and oozes period charm - from the rustic stripped floorboards, working wooden shutters to the ornate ceiling rose.  At the focal point of this elegant room is a sought-after working fireplace flanked by a traditional Edinburgh Press cupboard. The wonderful kitchen/dining room boasts a wealth of space for cooking and socialising, as well as an array of gloss-white cabinets framed by solid timber worktops, a full range of integrated appliances, a useful pantry and a convivial peninsula unit. The generous dining area can easily accommodate a large dining table and chairs and also features a contemporary wall mounted living flame gas fire and a delightful window seat. The spacious office enjoys an abundance of natural light and would also lend itself to various configurations. Completing the first floor level is a delightful bedroom and a desirable WC.  The master bedroom enjoys a dormer bay window and substantial floor space. The second bedroom, finished in calming soft green hues, enjoys natural light from a large Velux window, plus further light from a side window and ample floor space. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary fully tiled four-piece bathroom. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, ample unrestricted on-street parking and an enclosed private garden  to the front of the property. 

    Leith Links lies to the east of Edinburgh's city centre and close to bustling Leith and the fashionable shore area.  A wide selection of local shops are within the vicinity and a Tesco supermarket can be found just a short walk away. Schooling is well catered for from nursery to senior level and Leith School of Art is approximately a 5 minute drive away. Regular bus services run to the city centre, the train stations and the Royal Infirmary. The property is ideally placed for access to Portobello, the A1 and the city bypass. HOME REPORT £280,000.
