46/15 Balfour Street, Edinburgh, EH6

Set within a traditional stone tenement in a well-connected residential area of Edinburgh, this well presented one-bedroom flat offers spacious accommodation, attractive period proportions and excellent natural light throughout. The property combines classic tenement character with clean contemporary finishes, making it an ideal first home, city base or investment opportunity.


The welcoming entrance leads into a generously sized sitting/dining room, providing ample space for both relaxing and entertaining. Large windows create a bright, airy feel while the proportions allow flexibility for lounge and dining furniture. Positioned off the living space, the separate fitted kitchen is practical and well laid out, offering good storage, worktop space and integrated cooking facilities in a compact galley-style arrangement. The double bedroom is similarly well proportioned, with plenty of room for freestanding furniture and benefiting from excellent natural light. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room finished with contemporary tiling and a three-piece suite.

Externally, residents benefit from access to a shared rear garden, providing valuable outdoor space. On street permit parking is available directly outside the property and on surrounding streets under permit zone N7.

Situated within the ever-popular Leith Walk area, Balfour Street enjoys a highly convenient position just north of Edinburgh’s city centre and within one of the capital’s most vibrant and well-connected neighbourhoods. Leith Walk itself offers an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities, creating a lively local atmosphere with everything needed close at hand. Residents are within easy reach of both Leith and the New Town, while nearby areas including The Shore and St James Quarter provide further choice for dining, shopping and leisure. Green open spaces can also be found locally, with parks and recreational areas offering opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The area is exceptionally well served by regular bus services and excellent active travel links, while the Edinburgh Trams provide convenient access across the city and to Edinburgh Airport.
