Part of a modern development in Leith, this well-presented, two-bedroom, second-floor flat has an enviable position in the capital, enjoying a quiet (no-through road) location beside Pilrig Park just a brief stroll from Leith Walk’s thriving amenities and regular transport links, including an upcoming tramline connecting to the city centre and Edinburgh Airport. Furthermore, the property is in a move-in condition, offering spacious rooms, modern fixtures and fittings, and brand-new internal doors. It is also only a brisk walk from Princes Street and Edinburgh’s world-class shopping facilities.
Accessed via a secure entry system and a handy lift service, the flat’s front door opens with a warm welcome into a central hall with two built-in cupboards. On the left is the living/dining room, which enjoys light neutral décor and a fitted carpet for comfort. Brightly illuminated by two windows, it is a spacious reception area that can accommodate both lounge and dining furniture – perfect for everyday use. Next door, the kitchen has a bright and attractive design, fitted with white base cabinets and generous, wood-toned worktops that are backed by easy-to-clean splashbacks. A ceramic hob and oven are integrated, alongside space for an undercounter fridge, a freezer, and a washing machine. On the opposite side of the hall are two bedrooms, both of which mirror the style of the living area and come equipped with built-in mirrored wardrobes, freeing additional floorspace. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double and the second bedroom has versatile dimensions allowing it to be used creatively, such as an office. A modern three-piece bathroom and overhead power shower completes the flat. Modern electric night storage heating and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort.
Outside, the development provides a communal garden, and there are ample parking spaces available too.
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 along 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.
