1 bedroom flat to rent

A stunning, one-bedroom, furnished, first-floor apartment that must be seen to be fully appreciated. It has been fully renovated to a high standard throughout in advance of its first tenancy. Available 4 June 2024!

One of this property’s many highlights is its impressive open-plan kitchen-living area. This bright room perfectly blends old and new. It boasts much-loved period features such as its tall ceilings, a sash and case window and original sanded wooden flooring. These are contracted with stylish modern furnishings, a sleek new kitchen and slick monochromatic décor. Like in the rest of the property, the large window in this room is west-facing, so allows plenty of afternoon and evening light to flood the space. The kitchen is not only stylish, it is also well-designed. It has ample storage and worktop space, as well as all the modern appliances you would expect in a quality rental. This includes an electric oven, microwave and an integrated cooker hood.

Immediately off the open-plan living area are two large cupboards. The first houses the freezer and washing machine, while the second acts as a utility cupboard. This hidden storage space is a real asset to the property.

A small hall connects the open-plan living area to the other rooms in the property. This area has wall-mounted coat hooks.

This property also features a generously sized bedroom. Like the open-plan living area, it feels both modern and traditional in equal measure. Once again, the presence of original characteristics such as sanded wooden flooring and an impressive decorative fireplace, give this room a unique feel. The room also uses the simple black-and-white colour palette seen in the open-plan living area to great effect, with white walls and black furnishings. The furnishings include a double bed, bedside cabinet, double wardrobe and a large chest of drawers.

A bathroom was not ignored during the recent renovation. There is a brand-new shower over bath with an attractive all-white tile surround. Wooden panelling has also been used to great effect. Luxury touches such as an LED mirrored cabinet and a chrome heated towel rail, help to complete the look of this trendy apartment.

There is central heating throughout powered by a gas-fired combi-boiler.

The apartment comes with access to a large communal garden. There is a friendly and active community within the stair that really adds to the place’s charm.

This apartment is in one of the most in-demand areas of the city for rentals in the past year. Being on a quieter side street, it is easy to forget that you are so brilliantly positioned for amenities. Leith Walk (with its family-run restaurants, trendy bars and wide selection of takeaways) is just a 5 minute-walk away, while Easter Road (with its large Tesco, Lidl, various pubs and independent bakeries) is just a few minutes away in the other direction.

The property has excellent connections by bus and tram. Regular buses from both Leith Walk and Easter Road can get to St. James Quarter, Waverley Station and New Town in well under 10 minutes. Meanwhile, trams from the Balfour Street tram stop (only an 8-minute walk away) can get to The Shore in only under 5 minutes, St. Andrew Square in under 10 minutes, and the airport in under 45 minutes. This mix of convenience and tranquillity makes it ideal for those looking for a quieter place to stay that is still vibrant and within easy reach of the city centre.
