43 The Quilts, Edinburgh

Peacefully located at the end of a cul-de-sac beside the idyllic Water of Leith, this exceptional five-bedroom townhouse forms part of a modern development with a highly sought-after location. It is in easy reach of the award-winning restaurants of The Shore, as well as the thriving amenities, bars, and eateries of Leith Walk. Nearby bus and tram links also ensure a speedy commute to the city centre and airport. The home itself is beautifully presented too, with neutral styling and a sharp eye for detail. It boasts a modern kitchen, bathroom, and shower room, a high degree of flexibility, and outstanding storage. The southeast-facing property also has private parking and an enclosed garden.

Inside, you are welcomed by an immaculate hall with generous storage and a convenient two-piece shower room. The living room is on the first floor, enjoying tasteful accent walls paired with a neutral backdrop and a muted wood-toned floor. It has a large footprint for comfortable lounge furniture and is bathed in a cascade of natural light from twin windows framing leafy views. Equally spacious, the ground-floor dining kitchen offers a wonderful setting for family meals and lively dinner parties. It is generously appointed too, providing ample cabinet storage in timber tones, alongside sweeping stone-inspired worktops with matching splashbacks. It comes with a gas range cooker, an American-style fridge/freezer, and a washing machine.

Meanwhile, the five bedrooms are located throughout the home, each room maintaining the impeccable standards found throughout. The principal, second, third and fourth bedrooms are all airy doubles, with the ground-floor second bedroom also offering the potential to be used as a formal dining room, and bedroom four coming equipped with built-in storage. The fifth bedroom, on the other hand, is a versatile space that would work equally well as a study. A first-floor bathroom completes the interiors, featuring attractive tile work and an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, the rear garden is enclosed by a high fence and is laid with paving – perfect for summer barbecues. It also includes a shed for storage. A gated monoblock driveway to the front provides private parking and an EV charger.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, a gas range cooker, an American-style fridge/freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale. Wardrobes, beds, and additional furnishings are available by separate negotiation.
