2 bedroom flat for sale

*FIXED PRICE £5,000 BELOW HOME REPORT*

Set on a cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom first-floor flat forms part of a traditional tenement building, situated in the Leith conservation area. It has a highly desirable location by Leith Walk, enjoying a wide variety of amenities, fashionable bars and restaurants, and regular bus and tram links practically on the doorstep. The home is well-presented throughout in neutral tones, providing buyers with an appealing blank canvas. It offers an open-plan reception room and kitchen, a communal garden, and access to controlled permit parking.

Accessed via a secure telephone-entry system and shared stairwell, the flat’s front door opens to a welcoming hall, which establishes the theme of décor throughout, with its crisp neutral palette and painted wooden floorboards. To the left is the open-plan living room and kitchen. Here, the white décor enhances an airy ambience, along with a southerly-facing window which ensures a light-filled environment throughout the day. There is room for comfy lounge furniture and an open Edinburgh press for display items. The kitchen itself is neatly arranged in a good-size nook to the rear of the room, giving it a sense of its own space. It has modern white cabinets and luxurious stone worktops, framed by on-trend splashback tiles. It includes an integrated oven and gas hob, as well as space for additional freestanding appliances. Meanwhile, the two bedrooms are set side by side. Both are bright and airy doubles that are enhanced by the understated décor and wooden floorboards. The principal bedroom has the larger proportions, and it further benefits from built-in storage, intricate cornice work, and a period feature fireplace. Both rooms also enjoy southerly-facing aspects too. Finishing the home is a three-piece bathroom, fitted with a washbasin, a toilet, a towel radiator, and a bath with an overhead shower. The property has gas central heating and traditional sash windows. 

Externally, residents have shared use of the back garden and, conveniently, homeowners also have access to controlled permit parking (Zone N8).

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
