    About the property

    SOLD - SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES  

    Enjoying an elevated position, 25 Blackie Road is a traditional terraced villa which instantly endears with its grand bay windows and decorative masonry.

    The vibrant front door opens into an entrance vestibule, which opens in turn to the central hall, where Victorian-inspired floor tiles, white walls and industrial-style lighting make a striking first impression. The living room on the left is flooded in light from a magnificent bay window. Intricate cornices adorn the soaring ceiling and at the focal point of the room is a splendid fireplace flanked by a traditional Edinburgh Press. The south-facing dining kitchen to the rear has a contrasting contemporary design, with gloss-white cabinetry and natural timber worktops set against natural slate tiles. The kitchen is replete with integrated appliances and a separate utility room provides practical laundry facilities, as well as excellent storage and direct access to the garden.

    Both double bedrooms are presented to an immaculate standard and boast charming feature fireplaces. The classic-contemporary bathroom enjoys a south-facing aspect, and is fitted with a bath which is partially enclosed by a panelled shower screen and has an overhead rainfall shower; a wall-mounted vanity cabinet with an inset basin; and a WC. Completing the accommodation is a versatile study/box room. Gas-fired central heating ensures year-round comfort and efficiency.

    In addition to the well-tended front garden, the south-facing rear garden is securely enclosed and has been landscaped. Unrestricted on-street parking is available directly adjacent.

    The popular residential area of Leith Links lies 3 miles east of Edinburgh's city centre and offers beautiful outdoor space. Leith Links is an ideal place for picnicking, jogging and dog walking; the park also offers a children's play park, football pitches and bowling greens. There are several cafes, traditional pubs, take-aways and independent shops, along with pharmacies, and dental and health care on your doorstep.

    The area lies within striking distance of Leith and the shore, both providing shopping facilities, trendy bars and restaurants and a vibrant arts scene. Nearby Ocean Terminal provides an M&S food hall, high-street shops, restaurants, a multi-plex cinema and gym.

    The Water of Leith cycle path network safely connects the area with the rest of the city. An excellent number of regular bus routes run day and night to and from Leith Links to the city center and further afield. The property is ideally placed for access to Portobello, the A1 and the city bypass. The property benefits from being within the catchment area of Leith Primary and St Mary's RC Primary School, as well as Leith Academy.
