This traditional main-door two-bedroom lower flat in Leith Links is brimming with period charm and character, elegantly enhanced by modern décor and fixtures and a wonderfully sunny aspect. Externally, the flat is accompanied by private front and rear gardens and access to unrestricted on-street parking.
The flat’s private front door opens into a vestibule with traditional floor tiling, flowing through to a hall with resilient pine flooring, where attractive décor sets the tone for the accommodation to follow. On your left, you step into a living and dining room. Offering a generous footprint for lounge and dining furniture layouts and extended by a wonderful southerly-facing bay window allowing sunshine to stream in (and with working shutters), this elegant room enjoys sage-green décor enhanced by beautifully-detailed cornicing, a ceiling rose, a wood floor, and a delightful fireplace. A kitchen is conveniently accessed from here and adds a contemporary element to the home with modern navy-blue wall and base cabinets, ample workspace, and metro-tiled splashbacks, as well as integrated appliances and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer.
The flat accommodates two well-proportioned, high-ceilinged double bedrooms, enjoying their own unique, tasteful décor and charming period fireplace surrounds. The larger of the two also enjoys working shutters, incorporates storage, and leads to a handy utility room with external access. Finally, a bright bathroom comprises a bath with an overhead shower, and a WC-suite. The flat benefits from gas central heating and retains its original windows.
Externally, the home is accompanied by private front and rear gardens, with the low-maintenance front garden featuring a gravelled area with leafy shrubs, and the rear garden mainly laid to lawn. Parking on Cornhill Terrace is conveniently unrestricted.
Situated approximately two miles northeast of the city centre, the area of Leith Links forms part of Edinburgh’s increasingly popular Leith district, which recently featured on The Times’ list of ‘Coolest places to live in Britain’. The Port of Leith, with its proud identity and sense of community, boasts a fascinating heritage, with many of the old bonded-warehouses and grand merchant buildings having been given a new lease of life as part of a comprehensive regeneration project. Residents enjoy the open green spaces of Leith Links and Claremont Park right on their doorstep.
