Occupying the top two floors of the Collegiate Gothic B-listed former Leith Academy close to Leith Links, this impressive contemporary two bedroom home with delightful views is a fine example of a well-considered and stylish renovation.

Centred around the original school landings but now with the addition of a shared lift, the front door ushers you into a generously proportioned vestibule and hallway. Boasting a chic décor of wood-inspired flooring and neutral wall finishes it sets the tone for the light and airy accommodation that awaits.

To your left, the spacious and inviting living dining room overlooked by an upper-floor living and reception area is flooded with natural light from the original pointed arcaded windows.

Offering captivating views of the surrounding buildings, they enhance the appealing interior design that includes wood-inspired flooring, a statement accent wall and exposed steel columns.

From here and passing a well-presented double bedroom you arrive at a sizeable breakfasting kitchen. Modern in design the layout includes oak-effect wall and floor cabinetry, black gloss worktops and high-spec integrated appliances including an eye-level oven, five-ring gas hob, extractor hood, microwave, and dishwasher.

Rounding off the lower floor accommodation is a bathroom featuring a wall-hung hidden cistern WC, countertop washbasin, and a bath with a wall-mounted shower.

Ascending to the upper floor the principal double bedroom enjoys an abundance of light from two VELUX windows which also provide a scenic skyline aspect, along with a high-spec en-suite bathroom. Set against white metro-tiles and equipped with a wall-hung hidden cistern WC, countertop washbasin, bath with a wall-mounted shower, and a chrome towel radiator it evokes a spa-like ambience.

Completing the layout is a versatile and light-filled space currently utilised as a comfortable open home office but which would serve equally well as a third bedroom or additional sitting room overlooking the lower floor living dining room and with panoramic city views. This clever design ensures a wonderful feeling of space and openness.

Residents benefit from secure allocated residents parking.
