SOLD-SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES
50 (1F1) Kings Road is a stone’s throw from the beach and within easy walking distance of Portobello’s thriving local amenities. It is the perfect property for first time buyers and young families, and, with excellent transport links into Edinburgh city centre, buy-to-let investors and commuting professionals.
Accessed via a secure communal entrance and stairwell, the front door to the flat opens into a crisp white, L-shaped hall, which flows into the living, dining, and kitchen area. This charming open-plan space provides sociable living and a sizeable floorplan for relaxing, entertaining, and dining. A large window bathes the room in natural and offers views of the Firth of Forth. The room features an Edinburgh Press-type cupboard, as well as wood-effect flooring. The kitchen itself is fitted with modern style cream cabinets and wooden worktops. It incorporates a built-in wine rack, under-cabinet lighting, and a selection of appliances. Space for a washer is located in the utility cupboard (opposite another cupboard for additional storage). Two double bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the home. The first bedroom boasts the larger proportions and a favourable south-facing aspect, in addition to a feature fireplace and an Edinburgh Press-style cupboard. The second bedroom enjoys the same view toward the Firth of Forth as the living room. Completing the seaside home is a bright bathroom with a three-piece suite and an overhead shower.
Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing. Outside, the flat enjoys a communal garden with a picnic bench for alfresco dining and socialising. To the home’s front, there is ample, unrestricted on-street parking.
Portobello lies east of Edinburgh city centre and offers the best of both worlds – easy access to the capital, which is just three miles away, but with white sandy beaches and beautiful countryside right on your doorstep. There is a wide range of cafes, restaurants and independent retailers. Portobello benefits from its own banks, post office and supermarkets, and Fort Kinnaird retail park is nearby. There is faith and non-denominational schooling nearby and private schooling can also be found in Musselburgh. There are excellent transport road links thanks to the area’s proximity to the city bypass, the A1 and main arteries towards the city. Nearby Brunstane station offers a 10-minute journey to Waverley Station and bus services run day and night.
