Leith, Edinburgh, EH6

Tenure: Freehold

Immaculately presented with stylish, modern interiors and crisp-white décor throughout, this second-floor apartment forms part of a contemporary, factored CALA Homes development in Leith and offers three bedrooms, a spacious reception room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms. Externally, the development is set in landscaped shared grounds and has an underground car park, with an allocated space for the property.

A secure shared entrance and stairs (or a lift) take you to the second floor, where the apartment’s front door opens into an airy, inviting hallway with excellent built-in storage, with crisp-white décor and warm wood-styled flooring immediately introducing the home’s pristine interiors. Leading off the hall to the left is a spacious reception room, where a generous footprint allows for various configurations of both lounge and dining furniture. The living room is illuminated by large French doors ornamented by a Juliet balcony, and it continues the presentation of the hall with the same décor and flooring. In the neighbouring kitchen, contemporary gloss-white cabinets line two walls of the room and are accompanied by spacious grey worktops, as well as a full selection of integrated appliances. These comprise an oven, a hob, an extractor hood, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washer/dryer. Provision is also made for a small breakfasting area, if desired – perfect for morning coffee and socialising while cooking.

The apartment offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all neutrally decorated and carpeted for optimum comfort underfoot. The sleeping areas are all supplemented by built-in wardrobes, and the principal further benefits from an en-suite shower room. The third bedroom is being utilised as a home office, highlighting the home’s versatility and ideal for those requiring a quiet space to study or work from home. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a WC-suite, and a chrome towel radiator. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. 

Externally, the development is set within landscaped shared grounds and has an underground car park, with an allocated space for the apartment.

Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances will be included in the sale. Some furniture is available by separate negotiation. 

Factor: The development is factored by Ross & Liddell.
