Location

Joppa is a desirable locale, immediately east of Edinburgh’s “seaside village” of Portobello and just 5 miles from Edinburgh’s city centre. In recent years, it has become one of the city’s most buoyant in terms of price growth with new residents’ beginning to appreciate what a pleasant lifestyle the area has to offer. Indeed, within easy walking distance, there are a host of amenities; whether that is the quaint local shops, the growing number of supermarkets, the bars, bistros, restaurants & cafes…or the extensive choice of leisure options from the Victorian local baths, to parks, golf courses, bowling green and…the promenade and beach itself! Add to that, the regular bus services, the proximity of the by-pass--leading on to the main roads round Edinburgh and it is easy to see the attraction. This east fringe of Edinburgh also affords easy access down the East Lothian coast. The schooling in the area is particularly sought after.

The Property

Set back from the road somewhat, the property is on the first floor of a modern style block, one of only two forming the development of “Woodville Court”. It dates back some 50 years or so but built at a time when builders were producing well-proportioned apartments with good storage. There is great potential to create a lovely home; we would envisage purchasers wishing to replace the kitchen and bathroom fittings, whilst introducing their own interior design ideas and finishes. The Living/Dining room enjoys a double aspect and very pleasant views. The balcony provides that all important "outside space".
