Upon entering this first floor home, reached via a secure communal entrance and stairwell, an inviting hall welcomes you inside and offers a walk-in cloak cupboard. In the living room, a large bay window instantly catches the eye, flooding the space in south-westerly light and framing a delightful open view across Leith Links. A host of additional period features bring the room alive, including a lavish feature fireplace, highly intricate cornicing, and a tidy picture rail, as well as original varnished floorboards that flow throughout the property. It has ample proportions for comfortable lounge furniture and a dining table. It also includes a handy cupboard and access to a box room, providing a good-size space for a home office. To the rear of the home, the dining kitchen has generous dimensions for a large table and chairs. It is framed by a period fireplace and offers a built-in cupboard for pantry-style storage. The cooking area is fitted with base and wall cabinets, incorporating space for appliances. The double bedroom is to the front of the property beside the living area, sharing the same beautiful outlook over Leith Links. For extra charm, a feature fireplace with period tiling completes the room. Finishing the home is a bright three-piece bathroom with a shower attachment. An efficient gas central heating system ensures year round warmth.
Outside, residents have access to a communal garden with a well-tended lawn for summer socialising. For convenience, unrestricted parking is also available directly in front of the property.
Situated to the northeast of the city, Leith Links is a sought-after area with a rich history and traditional architecture, a setting that is combined with a thriving contemporary atmosphere. The vast, open space of Leith Links itself is home to a play park, various football pitches, and a popular community croft. In the summer months it also hosts the annual Leith Festival Gala Day and the Edinburgh Mela Festival. Just minutes’ walk from vibrant Leith Walk and the trendy Shore district, the area enjoys a fantastic blend of local services and amenities. The bustling shopping area around Great Junction Street, the New Kirkgate, and the Foot of the Walk provide everything you need for day-to-day life, while more extensive shopping facilities are available in the city centre or at nearby Ocean Terminal shopping centre. There is also a weekly Saturday market at Dock Place and Leith has attracted trendy bars and restaurants. The neighbouring Shore district boasts three Michelin-starred restaurants. Idyllic walks can be enjoyed along the picturesque Water of Leith Walkway, Restalrig Railway Path, and along Newhaven harbour. Leith Links offers an excellent range of schools including nursery and early years at Leith Primary or St Mary’s RC Primary School, followed by secondary education at Leith Academy. Leith Links enjoys exceptional public transport links into the city centre and beyond, and the new tram extension at Leith Walk will take you all the way to the airport, once completed.
