The Moorings forms part of a mid-19th-century former warehouse (Listed Category B) which was converted around 2000 into superior apartments. The property is a most sizeable two-bedroomed ground floor flat (129 square metres) now in need of cosmetic improvements. Of solid cream sandstone construction, it has individuality and great character enhanced by the existence of original columns. The slated roof was recently overhauled at great expense. The flat opens into a truly extensive dining hall/reception/home study office space offering tremendous versatility along with two handy store cupboards. There is a particularly large living/dining room and a completely separate dining kitchen (also requiring refitting). Its generous master bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en-suite shower room and in-built wardrobes. There is a second also large double bedroom and an internal bathroom.

The property has the original electric storage heaters and fan heaters. Traditional-style sash windows are double glazed.

The Moorings benefits from a secure video entry system and pleasant entrance reception. Trinity Factors manage the smooth running of the development at a cost of £166 per month which includes buildings insurance.

The original walls and gate piers of the former West Dock were retained at the time of the conversion creating an atmospheric communal cobbled courtyard. There are allocated parking bays and a secure cycle store solely for the use of the residents.

Steeped in history, this vibrant waterfront setting of Leith comprises an interesting blend of original buildings, new residential developments and major commercial projects. There are restaurants to suit all budgets, trendy wine bars, traditional ale houses, coffee shops and many other social amenities. At the centrepiece, the retail/leisure complex offers major stores including a multi-screen cinema and Marks & Spencer’s food hall. For recreation there is a nearby fitness/racquet sport centre, rock climbing, sailing, swimming and cycling. It is less than two miles from Princes Street and bus/tram services operate.

The oven, hob, hood and dishwasher are included in the sale price.

The property lies in Council Tax band F and has a D-rated Energy performance Certificate.

The property has been valued by surveyors at £280,000 and the Home Report is available via the ESPC website.
