About
Unique to the rental market, this one-bedroom flat blends modern stylings and decor with period features and character.
The property overlooks a side street between Easter Road and Leith Walk, making it the perfect location from which the whole city can be accessed easily. Available 9 November 2026!
The property comprises an impressive double bedroom, a functional kitchen, a large living-dining room and a modern bathroom.
The standout feature of this property is its living room, which includes a dining area. With high ceilings and a large floor space, this room exudes Edinburgh grandeur.
This is further demonstrated by numerous period features, such as its decorative fireplace, ceiling rose and ornate cornicing.
These older characteristics are contrasted by the contemporary decor and furnishings, which include a 4-seater dining table, a large corner sofa, a unique bookcase and a sleek white TV stand.
Note that the TV shown in the marketing photographs is not included. The high ceilings and wooden flooring continue into the bedroom. Another large room, it houses an expansive wardrobe unit.
The desk and chair can be provided or removed, depending on tenants' wishes. Like the living room, the bedroom has a large, south-facing window that allows plenty of light to flood the room.
The contemporary kitchen includes an electric hob and oven, a washing machine, a microwave, and a kettle. The kitchen has been perfectly laid out to maximise the space available.
It offers ample cupboard space for storage and more than enough worktop area for food preparation. The bathroom is stylish and modern.
It has a sink with storage underneath, a bath with an overhead shower and a mirror with an LED light. There is also a heated towel rail.
Overlooking Lorne Street, a quieter side street that connects Easter Road to Leith Walk, this flat is situated on the top floor and has double glazing throughout.
This allows it to have an Easter Road location without having to deal with the lion's share of the Easter Road traffic and noise.
The property has plenty of nearby shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, within a 10-minute walking distance.
There are two large supermarkets, a Lidl (a 4-minute walk away) and a Tesco (less than a 10-minute walk away).
The property has excellent transport links and there is a bus stop on Easter Road less than a 1-minute walk away that allows easy access into the city centre.
The nearest tram stop on Leith Walk is also only a 7-minute walk away, allowing quick access into the city centre, out to the airport or down to Ocean Terminal (a well-known shopping centre with a cinema) and The Shore (a popular area with cafes, restaurants and bars on the banks of The Water of Leith).
There are plenty of nearby green spaces; Dalmeny Street Park is a 4-minute walk away, and Leith Links is an 11-minute walk away.
With its great location, impressive space and tasteful finishes, this flat would make an ideal home for any single professional or couple. Deposit: £1800 EPC rating: D.
