A stunning new showhome in Leith’s trendy waterfront area is set to launch this October, following a tidal wave of interest from potential home owners in recent months.

The showhome at Coalhill 2, an £8m development by award winning developers, BUREDI, which is a joint venture by The Burrell Company and The EDI Group, is set to be a huge hit with house hunters looking for a unique home located within a wealth of amenities including hotels, buzzing bars and top restaurants.

The two bedroom apartment comprises a living room with sliding door access to the second bedroom and a double glazed roof terrace overlooking the Water of Leith. A separate kitchen has been supplied and fitted by leading manufacture ALNO. The apartment has been tastefully decorated with furnishings from Bo Concept, bringing the development to life and providing inspiration on interiors for any one of the apartments currently available.

Continuing the architectural style of respected Edinburgh based architects, Allan Murray Architects (AMA), who designed both phases; Coalhill 2 is at the cutting edge of property design. AMA architectural excellence was critically acclaimed resulting in the scheme being presented with both ‘The Britannia Best Apartment of the Year in the UK’ and ‘The Britannia Building of the Year’ awards in 2001.

The apartments are grouped around a secure, private courtyard and benefit from a designated underground car parking space with lift access to all floors.

Three exceptional penthouse apartments are also available comprising three bedrooms including one en-suite, large living areas, fully equipped kitchen and a spacious terrace overlooking the Shore.

Leith has undergone a major transformation in recent years and has emerged as a stylish, fashionable place to live, particularly popular among young professionals. The first phase of the Coalhill development was central to this redevelopment, boosting property standards in the area and creating a highly desirable urban community.

Further investment in the area includes a new landscaped play facility for open access financed by BUREDI.

Almost 50% of the apartments have already been snapped up, and due to increased demand a further nine apartments are soon to be released. Prices are from £190,000.

The sales centre is open weekly from Thursday until Monday between 11pm and 5pm, where prospective buyers can view the apartments prior to the opening of the showhome in October.
