This one-bedroom third-floor flat forms part of an attractive, modern development in Leith, just over a mile from the city centre: a location that will no doubt appeal to couples, professionals, and rental investors.

Accessed via a secure shared stairwell with refuse shoot, and a lift up to the third floor, the property opens up into a spacious hall with a large built-in storage cupboard. The livingroom has an abundance of space for freestanding furniture and a cornered dining nook, perfect for hosting. The kitchen is well-equipped with a wide range of base cabinets, plentiful work surfaces, splashback tiling and freestanding appliances. The double bedroom has good sized built-in wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors and a lot of room for bedroom furnishings. Finally, an attractive, partially tiled bathroom comes complete with a bathtub with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a basin set into storage, a large, illuminated mirror, and a WC.

Externally, a factor maintains the communal grounds and residents parking can be found within the development.

Located just over a mile northeast of the city centre, the historic and vibrant district of Leith is characterised by an eclectic mix of bars, cafés and eateries. The area also benefits from a wealth of retail outlets, including Ocean Terminal, which hosts street stores, as well as family restaurants, a 24-hour gym and a multiplex cinema. The district also encompasses the Shore: a fashionable waterfront with an array of pubs and eateries, including an array of Michelin-starred restaurants. Amidst the bustle of Leith are various tranquil green spaces, such as Pilrig Park, practically on the doorstep while Leith Victoria Swim Centre provides outstanding indoor sport and leisure facilities including a pool, fitness studios and a gym. Edinburgh city centre is easily accessible, day and night, by bus and tram which provides a direct bus link to the Edinburgh Airport. The property is within the catchment area for early years and primary schooling at Lorne Primary School, followed by secondary education at Leith Academy.

All window furnishings, floor coverings, light fixtures, and appliances (both integrated and free standing) are included in the sale. No warranties, guarantees or inventory will be provided.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
