One of the many highlights of this period property is its large living room. This room, with its large window overlooking the historic architecture of the Leith Links colonies, is the perfect living and dining space. The room typifies the tall ceilings with cornicing, original wooden flooring and working Victorian window shutters seen in multiple rooms throughout the property. A decorative fireplace, with exposed brickwork a restored stone hearth, acts as a focus point for the room, while an Edinburgh press provides concealed storage. A sofa will be provided for tenants to relax in this unique space. More modern features, such as plug sockets with USBs, have also been added.
The kitchen reimagines a traditional, rustic aesthetic with a contemporary edge. Its design incorporates eye-catching features such as a Belfast sink, wine glass hangers and open storage units and shelving. Wooden worktops and floors clash perfectly with white splashback tiling and exposed red brickwork. On a practical level, the kitchen has all the appliances you would expect. There is a freestanding fridge-freezer, a twin-door oven with a gas hob and a washing machine.
Various period features are showcased in the main bedroom. This bright, south-facing room will have a large fitted wardrobe (with mirrored doors and both drawer and hanging space) and a brand new kingsize bed provided. There is also another Edinburgh press, this time with exposed shelving.
The second bedroom, while smaller than the main bedroom, shares the expansive views that the living room has over Leith. As it is presented unfurnished, it would be ideal as a guest bedroom or as a place to work from home (for one or two people). It also benefits from high-level shelving.
The heritage-style bathroom has been brilliantly laid out to maximise the use of space. There is a deep bathtub with a shower over (with both monsoon and adjustable showerheads), a vintage high-level toilet and a heated towel rail. Effective use of tiling (both white on the walls and patterned on the floor) helps add further to this room’s charm.
The hall connects all rooms and benefits from a large storage cupboard and a ceiling-mounted pulley dryer.
Those conscious of energy bills will be pleased to know that this property has gas central heating that is powered by a relatively new combi-boiler and heating system. There is also double glazing throughout.
The south-facing, well-maintained communal garden is a brilliant addition to this apartment. Shared with only 3 other apartments, it is a peaceful treat with a shed for bike storage, a drying line and a decking area.
The property is on a quiet street in amongst the Leith Links colonies. Given the road layout, there is next to no through traffic. It is a deceptively tranquil corner of the city and means that, while in the property, it is easy to forget that you are right next to one of the most popular parts of Edinburgh.
The property is located in the heart of Leith Links, an attractive and well-regarded residential area surrounding the links themselves. It is conveniently situated for easy access to Edinburgh city centre (via both bus and tram) and a short walk from the hub of Leith itself. Leith is renowned for its many independent bars, restaurants and cafes.
For those looking to escape the city for a while, Leith Links is only a few minutes walk from the property. It boasts three tennis courts and 46 acres of open parkland. It is used by local football clubs and one of Scotland’s oldest cricket clubs. The famous Portobello Beach is also just a short drive away.
