In move-in condition, this contemporary and well-proportioned one-bedroom, ground/first-floor duplex flat forms part of the ''Academia'' conversion of a B-listed Victorian school building, located in the thriving Shore area in Leith, north-east of Edinburgh city centre.

Excellent shopping is available throughout Leith, with the foot of Leith Walk close by, a Lidl store right next to the building, and a Tesco store just a few hundred yards away.
