    About the property

     Tucked away on a wide tree-lined street, just off Leith Walk, is this traditional two bedroom ground floor flat.  This charming flat retains many period features including, soaring ceilings, rustic floorboards, stripped panel doors, ornate cornicing and a stunning, intricate ceiling rose.

    The property is accessed via a secure entry-phone system and a shared stairwell. The front door opens into an airy reception hall which immediately conveys a warm and welcoming ambience, setting the tone for the accommodation to follow. At the far end of the hall, the open-plan living room/ kitchen offers a spacious yet cosy living area, with a large west-facing window allowing a good deal of natural light to flood the room, and framing views of the well-kept shared garden. Separated from the living room by a dining area, the kitchen, provides ample fitted storage and workspace, plus room for freestanding appliances. Adjacent lies a useful utility room and large store cupboard. The cupboard boasts an abundance of shelving which maximises the space on offer and the utility room houses an additional sink, worktops and is plumbed for a washing- machine. Returning to the hall, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The larger bedroom brims with natural wood finishes, a feature fireplace, intricate cornicing and a ceiling rose and the second bedroom boasts natural wood finishes and ample space for freestanding furniture.  Finally, a charming three-piece bathroom, with painted tongue & groove wall boards and an over the bath electric shower completes the accommodation. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, access to a pretty shared garden and unrestricted on-street parking. 

    Leith is a lively hub of eating, socialising and shopping spots and is situated within walking distance of the city centre. It boasts a rich creative culture, and is home to the annual Leith festival. The neighbouring Shore area offers Edinburgh’s best dining experience, with no less than two Michelin Star restaurants.HOME REPORT £180,000.
