Located on a quiet cobbled street in Leith, this traditional ground-floor flat promises a fabulous city home, within easy reach of thriving local amenities, close to scenic open green space, and enjoying swift access into the city centre. Accompanied by both private and shared garden space, and enjoying access to unrestricted on-street parking, the property boasts stylish, well-proportioned interiors, including two double bedrooms and versatile living accommodation.
Accessed by a secure communal entrance, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall with storage, leading into a reception room on the left. Here, a classic understated backdrop heightens a number of delightful features, including tall wood-panelled windows, richly-toned timber floorboards, and a traditional fireplace, flanked by an Edinburgh Press. The elegant setting accommodates ample space for versatile arrangements of both lounge and dining furniture. Next door, a kitchen is timelessly classic, with a range of olive-green cabinetry, chunky timber worktops, and mosaic-effect flooring. The design neatly incorporates a freestanding cooker, (with a chimney-style extractor hood) a fridge/freezer, and an integrated dishwasher, whilst a washing machine is discreetly housed in one of the hall cupboards.
The flat’s two double bedrooms echo the tasteful presentation of the reception room, and both are carpeted for comfort. The generous principal bedroom boasts useful built-in storage and shelving, and adjoins a versatile room (with storage), which is currently arranged as a dressing room and could offer alternative options for use. Finally, a bright stylish bathroom features a three-piece suite with a shower-over-bath. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout. Externally, the flat enjoys a low-maintenance private front garden and leafy shared rear garden space, whilst on-street parking in the area is conveniently unrestricted.
Located just two miles northeast of the city centre, the historic and vibrant district of Leith is characterised by an eclectic mix of bars, cafés, and eateries. The area also benefits from a wealth of retail outlets, including Ocean Terminal shopping centre, which hosts a wide range of high street stores, as well as family restaurants, a 24-hour gym and a multiplex cinema. Leith’s rich cultural scene is further enhanced by annual festivals, live music venues, galleries, and artists’ studios. The district also encompasses the Shore: a fashionable waterfront with an array of pubs and restaurants, including award-winning restaurants. Amidst the bustle of Leith are various tranquil green spaces, such as Leith Links and Claremont Park, while Leith Victoria Swim Centre provides indoor sport and leisure facilities including a pool, fitness studios and a gym. Edinburgh city centre is easily accessible by bus, day and night, and there is also a direct bus link to Edinburgh International Airport. Furthermore, the tram line is currently being extended through Leith to provide another swift connection through the city centre all the way to the airport. The school catchment area covers early years, primary, and secondary education.
