Tucked away behind Leith Walk and accessed from Easter Road, Thorntree Street is a quiet cobbled cul-de-sac situated in the ultimately popular district of Leith.

This third (top) floor two-bedroom flat forming part of a traditional tenement is well- presented and is ready to move into. It genuinely is an ideal purchase for a first-time buyer or, due to its size and location, for a shrewd investor.

The flat's front door opens into the hall that gives access to all rooms. The south west facing living room is large enough to both sit and dine in and has a fireplace with attractive tiled surround and wooden mantlepiece. The kitchen adjoins the living room and provides both floor and wall mounted storage units, work surfaces and slot-in appliances.

The main double bedroom has built-in clothes storage and a unique recessed elliptical bath and there is a further bedroom that is currently used as a study. The accommodation is completed by a naturally lit shower room with three-piece suite and a heated ladder towel rail. The flat is double glazed and has gas fired central heating. To the rear of the building there is a neat communal garden.

Current Tenancy:
The property is currently used for rental purposes and has a tenant in place, offering a return of £925pcm (5.5% gross yield) and happy to stay on if the opportunity is presented. There is a tenancy end date in place of the 29th May 2024.

Area:
The flat is located within Leith, the iconic, cosmopolitan, and very popular port area of Edinburgh and a thriving part of the city. The modern and traditional mix of buildings contributes to Leith's charm and consequent appeal. It is a high amenity area with a wide selection of convenience and specialist shopping, with the additional benefit of a Sainsbury's on Leith Walk, a Tesco superstore on Duke Street and an ASDA at Sandpiper Drive.

The Shore area with its range of bars, bistros, and Michelin-starred restaurants is within walking distance, while Leith Links and other public parks and The Water of Leith Walkway all provide exercise and recreation.

There is a frequent and well managed bus service to and from the city center, as well as the recently extended Tram network, the nearest stop being Foot of The Walk. Consequently, with these two public transport services, many of the Capital's renowned restaurants, bars, art galleries and attractions are easily reached. The Omni Centre and Ocean Terminal that is shortly to be redesigned and upgraded are close by, both host many high street stores, eateries, multiscreen cinemas, and gyms. At the top of Leith Walk, the recently completed dynamic and exciting Edinburgh St James Quarter is found that now provides a world-class retail, leisure, hotel, and residential amenity.
