Located in the popular Restalrig area, north-east of Edinburgh's city centre, this first floor, two-bedroom flat set on a residential street and forms part of a purpose-built block, dating from the first half of the Twentieth Century. It presents an ideal opportunity for a first-time buyer, or someone looking for a long-term investment opportunity who have an understanding of how to progress the upgrading of a property.
The flat's front door opens onto the naturally lit hall that gives access to the living room, both double bedrooms and the bathroom. The comfortable living room is large enough for both sitting and dining and has a fire place and gas fire. The adjoining kitchen is also naturally lit and has both wall and floor mounted storage units, work surfaces with tiled splash backs, slot in appliances and houses the gas central heating boiler that was upgraded six months ago.
There are two double bedrooms, the larger of which has twin built-in wardrobes and the accommodation is completed by a naturally lit bathroom with three piece suite with shower over the bath.
The flat has its own private rear garden, as defined on the aerial photograph, with a communal drying green behind it.
Area:
Restalrig Crescent lies approximately two and a half miles east of the City Centre in the heart of the small and desirable residential area of Restalrig.
The district is amenity rich, including Meadowbank Retail Park that has a variety of essential small shops and can be found on the doorstep. Leith Walk, Easter Road, and Great Junction Street are all within roughly a mile's radius, offering a huge variety and choice of restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, and supermarkets.
The flat is a mile and a half away from the thriving Shore district of Leith that is famous for its multitude of bars, restaurants, and bistros. Ocean Terminal shopping and leisure complex with multi-screen cinema is also nearby and is shortly to embark on transformational redevelopment, as well as the city centre's vibrant east end including the recently opened St James Quarter. Leith Links provides an extensive space for recreation and exercise and Craigentinny Golf Course is also conveniently nearby.
The area is well served by public transport services with the A1 and the Edinburgh city by-pass easily accessible that, in turn, provide links to the major motorway networks.
Restalrig also has a place in history as the landing site for the first manned hot-air balloon flight on the British mainland. On the 27th August 1784, James Tytler, a local journalist, and polymath, took off from Abbyhill and rose to a height of 105m (350 feet) before safely landing at Restalrig.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
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
