Split over two floors, the Lochend home is accessed by a set of stairs at the front of the property, and even has its own private garden just below.

Opening out onto the first floor, the living room still has the original ornate fireplace from when it was first built, as well as a gorgeous wide window ideal for a comfy seat.

The kitchen and dining area have also been refurbished, with new units and rear facing windows letting a huge amount of light in.

Heading up to the attic floor, the ceilings are a little lower, however the property has two bedrooms, a large master with another bay window, as well as a smaller second room that would be ideal as a home office.

However, the charming mews house doesn't come cheap, with estate agents Aberdein Considine advertising the home at offers over £335,000.

Speaking about it, they said: "Forming part of the attractive Lochend Colonies conservation area is this beautifully presented, recently upgraded double upper flat.

"The property boasts a striking interior with contemporary kitchen and bathroom fitments and modern decor complimenting the traditional period features.

"The good sized lounge has a window to the front, shelved alcove and a lovely fireplace. The dining room and kitchen enjoy a bright open plan design with two rear facing windows.

"Externally there is an exclusive garden with raised vegetable and flower beds. Internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate this lovely home.

"Properties in this location are rare to the market and therefore early viewing is essential. Leith Links is a very popular area with excellent access to the city centre and The Shore.

"Leith Links park is a short walk from the property with a play park, tennis courts and links to cycle links. There is a range of local amenities with supermarkets and shops close by with bars and restaurants in the fashionable The Shore area"
