A first floor two-bedroom flat in a contemporary, built circa 1980, residential development situated on historic North Fort Street, in Leith. Requiring a degree of modernisation and redecoration, it presents an ideal purchase for a first-time buyer, or someone looking for an investment opportunity.
The flat's front door opens onto the hall that gives direct access to the living room, both bedrooms and the bathroom. The comfortable south west facing living room, overlooking North Fort Street, is large enough to accommodate areas for both sitting and dining. The adjoining kitchen is naturally lit and has both wall and floor mounted storage units, work surfaces, slot-in appliances and a large built-in cupboard that also houses the hot water cylinder.
There are two bedrooms; the larger double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors. Both bedrooms currently have additional fitted furniture units that can be easily removed, if desired. The bathroom is naturally lit and has a three-piece suite. The flat is double glazed and has electric heating.
There is unrestricted off-street parking to the rear of the development.
Area:
North Fort Street lies approximately two miles north of the City Centre on Leith's northern side.
The flat is on the doorstep of 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. There is a large Asda on Sandpiper Drive. The city centre's vibrant east end including the recently opened St James Quarter is easily accessible and Leith Links provides an extensive space for recreation and exercise.
The area is well served by public transport services, including the Newhaven tram terminus. The A1 and the Edinburgh city by-pass easily accessible that, in turn, provide links to the major motorway networks.
