    About the property

    Part of a popular development in Edinburgh’s highly sought-after Shore district, this spacious, two-bedroom, first-floor flat enjoys a prime location in the capital, near the Water of Leith and award-winning amenities and Michelin-starred restaurants. In easy reach of the city centre and excellent transport links, the home appeals to a wide demographic, including commuting professionals, young families, couples, and buy-to-let rental investors. It also presents buyers with the exciting opportunity to modernise the interiors to their own tastes and standards.

    Accessed via a secure entry system and a shared stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a central hall with two convenient cupboards. On the right is the living/dining room, which has a spacious footprint for relaxed lounge furniture and a table and chairs for sociable meals. It has a large window for a light-filled ambience, and is framed by a traditional-style electric fireplace. Next door, the kitchen is appointed with an excellent selection of cabinets and sweeping worksurfaces, incorporating a breakfast peninsula and an integrated oven and electric hob. A freestanding fridge/freezer and a washing machine are also included. The two double bedrooms are to the south-facing rear of the home, both of which are well-proportioned and neutrally decorated. Bedroom one is laid with plush carpeting, whereas bedroom two has an easy-upkeep floor. Finishing the home is a modern shower room with a three-piece suite. An efficient gas central heating system and double-glazed windows ensure yearround comfort. Outside, there is a large communal garden to the rear and a public playpark to the front of the development. In addition, parking is on street and unrestricted. Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated appliances, a fridge/freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.

    Approximately two miles north of Edinburgh city centre, this vibrant suburb was once a thriving port at the heart of the capital’s maritime industry. Like much of Edinburgh’s northern seaboard, The Shore has undergone significant regeneration to become one of the most desirable postcodes in the capital, recently voted as one of the best places to live by The Times in 2019. Characterised by its narrow, cobbled streets and continental-style waterfront, the area exudes a charming, small-town ambience that is worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Shore is renowned for its buzzing arts and social scene, which is fuelled by a fabulous selection of galleries and boutiques, trendy bars and award-winning eateries, including no fewer than three Michelin-starred restaurants. For foodies, Leith Market (every Saturday) is the perfect place to pick up fresh local produce, before tucking into some delicious street food. The Shore is served by an excellent range of local services and amenities, particularly in the bustling shopping area around the Foot of the Walk and Great Junction Street. Ocean Terminal shopping centre offers a wealth of shopping and leisure facilities including a variety of high-street stores, a selection of family restaurants, a multi-screen cinema, and a 24-hour gym. The Shore is within the catchment area for well-regarded primary and secondary schools and enjoys fantastic public transport links into the city centre. It also provides swift and easy to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh International Airport, and the M8/M9 motorway networks.
