Smithfield Street, Edinburgh, EH11

Enjoying a desirable position in vibrant Gorgie and close to an array of amenities, this comfortable one-bedroom traditional apartment will suit a variety of buyers from investors to those looking for a first home.

From the ground floor entrance vestibule you move past a WC into a spacious and light-filled sitting room. Boasting an easterly orientation and tasteful decor that includes smart wooden flooring, ambient lighting, and a calm colour palette which is warm and inviting. It also features a built-in press. A carefully considered open-plan design then ushers you into the kitchen separated from the sitting room by a small counter. Showcasing white wall and floor units, distressed wood-effect worktops and integrated appliances including a hob, oven, and extractor hood, it is compact yet well planned. From here you move into the hallway which leads to a shower room and a bright east-facing double bedroom featuring a continuation of the sitting room decor. A useful store cupboard in the hallway completes the internal layout.

Externally the property benefits from on-street permit-holder parking.
