Flat for sale in 30 1F2, Balfour Street, Edinburgh EH6

Forming part of a traditional tenement building, this one-bedroom first-floor city flat has a highly sought-after location just off Leith Walk. It is a brief stroll from a wide array of superb amenities, including supermarkets, trendy restaurants, bars, and cafés, and it is well-connected with bus services and a nearby tram link, which leads to the city centre and airport. Furthermore, the southwest-facing home is attractively presented, proving ideal for city professionals, couples, and first-time buyers.

Reached via a secure shared entrance and stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall with space for coats alongside glazed doors, allowing light to flow throughout the residence. To the left is the open-plan kitchen and living room. Here, there is a good amount of floorspace for lounge furniture and a workstation. There is also a shelved recess and a fitted seat by a southwest-facing window, which brings an abundance of natural light into the room. It is finished by a neutral backdrop and a bold feature wall set against a mocha-hued laminate floor. Meanwhile, the kitchen is at the rear of the room, sporting a popular and enduring design. It is fitted with wood-toned cabinets and stone-inspired worktops, backed by crisp white splashbacks. It comes with integrated appliances (oven, electric hob, concealed extractor, and fridge/freezer), as well as an undercounter washing machine. On the opposite side of the hall, the double bedroom pairs light grey décor with white detailing and a yellow accent wall, creating an inviting aesthetic which is further enhanced by the warm glow of the wood-textured floor. Also enjoying a southwest-facing aspect, this well-proportioned space is finished with a large built-in mirrored wardrobe that offers generous storage. Conveniently accessed from the hall or the bedroom, the shower room features marble-inspired wet walling and a quality three-piece. It is comprised of a pedestal washbasin, a toilet, and a step-in shower cubicle. Electric heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, there is a communal garden which has a lawn and a patio area. Homeowners also have access to controlled permit parking (Zone N7) – an essential feature in Leith.
