36 Blackie Road, Leith Links, Edinburgh, EH6 7ND

This traditional four-bedroom semi-detached house offers a convenient city setting and a wealth of accommodation spread over three floors. Exuding character, the home enjoys all the benefits of period architecture, boasting large rooms with high ceilings and charming period features. It adds modern sensibilities and a large extension to the mix, along with attractive interior design and premium finishings to create a beautiful family home that will be in high demand. Positioned close to Leith Links, this property offers easy access to the city centre, with excellent local amenities close by, as well as a wide range of restaurants, bars, and cafes. Schools are within easy reach, and there are regular bus links and a nearby tramline to the city centre and airport.

Nestled behind a low-maintenance garden, the home's front door opens into a vestibule and hall with traditional floor tiles and sympathetic decor, textured by a dado rail. It offers built-in storage and a wonderful introduction that hints at what is to follow.

The spacious living room is a haven for relaxing and socialising. It elegantly pairs light blue decoration with white detailing and varnished wooden floorboards, creating an inviting aesthetic that enhances an airy ambience. A south-facing bay window floods the room in natural light, whilst a handsome feature fireplace (inset with a log burner) forms a characterful focal point for the arrangement of furniture.

Furthermore, egg and dart cornicing adds to this reception area's charm, drawing attention to the lofty proportions. A press cupboard provides the final touch, helping to keep the room neat and tidy.

Occupying a large part of the lower ground floor, the kitchen has a sophisticated open-plan layout which easily incorporates a dedicated dining area and a family zone for comfortable lounge furniture. It has a stylish arrangement too, organised around a central island with a breakfast bar.

Shaker-inspired cabinets in mix-and-match tones add to the suave design, along with the wooden worktops, on-trend splashback tiles, and integrated appliances for a smooth finish. For added practicality, there is also a neighbouring WC/utility room with access to two large stores that offer creative potential. Multi-aspect glazing (including a rooflight) ensures a bright environment, along with bi folding doors that extend out into the garden for summer entertaining.

The four double bedrooms are all bright and airy, with each room enjoying attractive styling. The principal bedroom (on the ground floor) boasts the largest footprint, offering lots of space for a wide assortment of bedside furnishings. The remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, extending off a landing that is illuminated by a beautiful stained-glass window. These include the second bedroom which has generous proportions and a south facing aspect that is shared by bedroom four. The third bedroom displays the home's excellent versatility, being arranged as a productive office with inspiring garden views.

For convenience, there are wash facilities on every floor. At lower ground level, there is the (aforementioned) WC. Meanwhile, the ground floor is served by a traditionally-inspired four-piece bathroom, equipped with a freestanding roll-top bath and a walk-in shower cubicle with a rainfall showerhead. The first floor, on the other hand, has a three-piece bathroom, which also has a claw-footed roll-top bath (this time with an overhead shower).

In addition to the front garden, the home benefits from a large rear garden that is enclosed by established hedgerows and a stone wall. Ideal for families, it provides a safe space with excellent privacy, as well as a sweeping lawn and a neat patio. This garden captures lots of daily sun too, and it enjoys a leafy ambience. Parking in the area is on street and unrestricted.
