Flat 1 is an appealing, strikingly renovated, one bedroom, ground floor fat that will make either an ideal home or a very shrewd purchase for an investor.
Part of an intrinsic and unique piece of Edinburgh's architectural history, 2 Seafield Road is the former Seafield Baths and Hotel, dating back to 1813 and made even more notable as the baths used seawater. Now Category B listed and converted into three flats, the building makes an important and consequently significant contribution to this part of Leith.
Having entered through a secure communal hall; the flat's front door opens into the hall that has a large built-in cupboard and gives access to all rooms. The living room that looks over Seafield Road encompasses a modern surround kitchen with floor and wall storage, work surfaces with splash backs, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances. The comfortably sized double bedroom is to the back of the flat and has a built-in wardrobe and the accommodation is completed by a modern, naturally lit shower room with three-piece suite. The flat has traditional sash and case windows and electric heating. To the back of the building, there is a drying green and a cordon sanitaire in front of the flat, between the building and the pavement.
