Forming part of a handsome, C-listed traditional tenement building in cosmopolitan Leith, this ground-floor flat enjoys wonderfully light and airy accommodation including two bedrooms, a generous reception room, a kitchen/dining area, and a versatile box room, all enhanced by stylish presentation and beautiful period features. Externally, the flat benefits from access to a large, mature shared garden and unrestricted on-street parking.
A secure shared entrance leads to the flat’s front door, where you are welcomed inside by an airy, high-ceilinged hall (with fitted storage), setting the tone for the accommodation to follow with attractive, pastel-toned décor and a handsome wood floor. To the left of the hall lies a living room. Occupying a generous footprint which allows for various configurations of lounge furniture, the reception room is illuminated by a large southeast-facing window and enjoys neutral décor, beautifully-detailed cornicing, a fireplace flanked by an Edinburgh Press, and the same flooring as the hall, as well as a fantastic bespoke fitted storage/display shelving unit. Across the hall, a kitchen enjoys similar airy proportions and accommodates space for a seated dining area. Modern gloss-white cabinets are accompanied by contrasting black worktops and stylish grey metro-tiled splashbacks, and integrated appliances comprise an oven, a hob, and an extractor fan, whilst a freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher are included. The kitchen also features a handy traditional clothes pulley.
The flat’s two double bedrooms continue the appealing presentation of the rest of the property with tasteful décor and fitted carpets for optimum comfort, and the larger of the two retains its beautifully-detailed cornicing. A good-sized box room offers versatility and options for use and has a hatch leading to under-floor storage. A four-piece family bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath, a shower enclosure, a WC-suite, and a wall-mounted vanity cabinet. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system and the windows are all double glazed.
Externally, the flat benefits from a private storage cupboard in the shared entrance hall, as well as access to a large, mature shared garden, whilst parking on Kirk Street 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.
