This is a traditional ground floor two - bedroom villa in a block of four, set
in the quiet and attractive Restalrig Circus that is a short walk from Leith
Links and is two and a half miles east of the centre of Edinburgh.
The front door opens into the comfortable twin windowed living room that is
spacious enough to provide both a sitting and dining area and has a useful
built - in half height cupboard. Overlooking the well - tended communal drying
green, the kitchen is also large enough to accommodate a dining table, if
required. It has fitted wall and floor mounted storage units and work surfaces
with tiled splashbacks and houses the gas fired central heating boiler.
The larger double bedroom sits to the back of the villa and the second faces
the front. The naturally lit, partially tiled bathroom has a three piece suite
with a shower over the bath. The villa has gas central heating and is double
glazed.
To the front of the villa, there is a private garden, bounded by a hedge and
there is a communal drying green to the rear. Parking on the public road is
unrestricted.
Area:
Restalrig Circus lies approximately two and a half miles east of the City
Centre in the heart of the small and desirable residential area of Restalrig.
The district is amenity rich, including Meadowbank Retail Park. The villa is a
mile and a half away from the thriving Shore district of Leith that is famous
for its multitude of bars, restaurants and bistros. Ocean Terminal shopping
and leisure complex with multi - screen cinema is also nearby, as well as the
city centre's vibrant east end including the recently opened St James Quarter.
Leith Links provides an extensive space for recreation and exercise and
Craigentinny Golf Course is also conveniently nearby. The area is well served
by public transport services with the A1 and the Edinburgh city by - pass easily
accessible that in turn provides links to the major motorway networks.
Restalrig also has a place in history as the landing site for the first manned
hot - air balloon flight on the British mainland. On the 27th August 1784, James
Tytler, a local journalist and polymath, took off from Abbeyhill and rose to a
height of 105m (350 feet) before safely landing at Restalrig.
