Leith, Edinburgh, EH7

Tenure: Freehold

Presented in move-in condition, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is a beautiful city residence with neutral interiors finished to high standards. It features an open-plan living area with a fashionable kitchen, and it has a quality shower room, and excellent storage as well. Furthermore, the property forms part of a popular modern development which has private residents’ parking and a highly sought-after location in Leith, set a stone’s throw from a wide range of shops, trendy restaurants, bars, and cafes, as well as bus links and a tramline for swift connections to the city centre and airport. 

Accessed via a secure entry system, the apartment’s front door opens into a central hall, defined by neutral decoration and a wood-inspired floor. It offers a warm welcome and two built-in cupboards. To the left is the open-plan breakfasting kitchen and living room. This lovely reception space continues the hall’s appealing décor and flooring, providing buyers with an attractive blank canvas. It has plenty of floorspace for comfortable lounge furniture, with room for a table and chairs set by the bay window. Meanwhile, the kitchen area is organised around a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar. It has an on-trend design and colour scheme, pairing handle-less cabinets with complementary worktops and metro-style splashbacks. It is an effective look with smooth lines and a streamlined finish, incorporating a full range of integrated appliances (ceramic hob, extractor hood, raised oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine). Set side by side, the two double bedrooms face to the southeast, enjoying a light-filled ambience that is enhanced by the neutral décor. Both rooms also have built-in wardrobes and plush carpeting for underfoot comfort. A contemporary three-piece shower room finishes the home, providing a storage-set washbasin, a mirrored vanity unity, a hidden-cistern toilet, and a walk-in shower enclosure. Electric central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. 

Outside, the development provides beautifully landscaped garden grounds for communal use and it also has ample residents’ parking, the apartment enjoying two private parking spaces.

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

Factor: the development is factored by James Gibb Residential Factors for an approximate fee of £99 per month. This cost covers the maintenance and upkeep of communal areas, garden and parking maintenance, and block buildings insurance.
