Set within a B‑listed Georgian tenement in Edinburgh’s sought‑after New Town, this generously proportioned first‑floor flat offers classic period character and strong refurbishment potential. High ceilings, tall sash windows with working shutters and original timber floorboards create a bright, airy feel across spacious reception rooms and bedrooms. The layout includes a large drawing room, separate kitchen with adjoining utility, two generous doubles, a third bedroom, box room and a single bathroom — size and flow suited to family living or a multi‑let rental setup.
The building’s listed status brings handsome architectural detail but will complicate external or heritage‑sensitive works; any upgrade will need consenting and may increase costs. The property is presented for modernisation throughout — the kitchen and bathroom require replacement and general refurbishment is needed to bring services and finishes up to contemporary standards. Gas central heating is installed; broadband and mobile signal are excellent.
Practical points: the flat is freehold, located close to central amenities, green spaces and excellent transport links. On‑street permit parking and a small paved front area provide city convenience. Council tax is above average for the area and the wider ward shows pockets of deprivation, which may influence resale timing and tenant profiles.
This is an appealing opportunity for a buyer seeking a substantial, characterful New Town residence or an investor targeting a high‑demand central location. Expect to budget for listed‑building compliance and a full programme of modernisation to realise the property’s full market value.
