Rennies Isle, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6

Presented in walk-in condition, this two-bedroom second-floor flat offers bright and airy accommodation that is neutrally decorated throughout. It has a quality kitchen and three-piece bathroom, as well as excellent storage and allocated parking. Furthermore, the property forms part of a modern waterside development with a highly desirable location set on the banks of the Water of Leith. To make the most of its picturesque and much sought-after setting, the flat also features a private balcony with captivating waterfront views.

Accessed via a secure telephone-entry system and a convenient lift service, the flat begins with a welcoming entrance hall, supplemented by two built-in cupboards for practicality. Directly ahead is the living/dining room, which continues the hall’s neutral palette and hardwood floor, offering new buyers a sought-after blank canvas that is very easy to add your own mark to. The room has a spacious footprint for lounge and dining furniture, and it is bathed in southeasterly light. Furthermore, French doors extend out onto a private (sheltered) balcony that captures lots of sunshine, as well as a magnificent view over the Water of Leith and the historic buildings along its shore. In the kitchen, there is plentiful worksurface space and a generous range of cabinets, which also provide clever storage solutions for bottles and display items. An oven, gas hob, and extractor hood are integrated into the space, with a freestanding fridge/freezer and a washing machine included as well. The two double bedrooms also continue the neutral decoration, adding soft carpets for underfoot comfort. Both rooms have the advantage of built-in wardrobes too, ensuring ample clothes storage. The principal bedroom further boasts French doors to a Juliet balcony, opening out to those amazing waterfront views. Finally, the bright bathroom is enveloped in tiles and fitted with a white three-piece suite. It is comprised of a toilet, a pedestal washbasin, and a bath with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, the development provides well-kept communal grounds and easy access to the charming waterfront. In addition, it has allocated residents’ parking for added convenience.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.

Factor: the development is factored by Trinity Factors for the approximate yearly cost of £1600. This fee covers the upkeep of communal areas, lift maintenance, and block buildings insurance.
