Lochend, Edinburgh, EH7

Tenure: Freehold

Part of a sought-after modern development in Lochend, this two-bedroom third-floor flat has a fantastic location in the city, offering proximity to beloved green spaces, a wealth of amenities, and superb transport links. It is also within brisk walking distance of the city centre and popular Leith, which is home to a thriving restaurant and bar scene. The home itself is presented in move-in condition, providing modern interiors that are bright and airy and neutrally decorated throughout. It also has access to residents’ parking.

Reached via a secure telephone-entry system and shared stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a central hall leading to all accommodation. It offers a generous store and a lovely introduction, setting the scene for the following rooms. To the left is the living area. Here, the white décor adds to the bright and spacious ambience, whilst a soft carpet ensures underfoot comfort. It can accommodate an excellent choice of furnishings and it is bathed in sunlight from southwest-facing windows. The kitchen is adjacent, sporting feature block glazing to allow natural light to flow from the living area into this space. It adds extra character as well, complementing the fashionable pairing of wood-toned cabinets and stone-inspired worktops. White splashbacks and undercabinet lighting complete the look, along with an integrated oven, ceramic hob, and concealed extractor. A freestanding fridge/freezer and a washing machine are also included. Positioned next to each other, the two bedrooms are both bright doubles that match the styling of the living area, which is perfect for new buyers who seek a blank canvas. One of the rooms also comes with a built-in wardrobe for neat clothes storage. Finished in neutral tones and with mosaic tiling, the bathroom has a modern aesthetic and a quality three-piece suite, which includes an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. 

Outside, there is an easy-to-maintain communal garden for relaxing in the sun and there is ample residents’ parking available as well.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated appliances, a fridge/freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.

Factor: the development is factored by James Gibb for an approximate fee of £140 per month. This cost includes the upkeep of communal areas and block buildings insurance.
