This first-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offers solid space and genuine potential for buyers ready to improve and personalise. Set within a converted Victorian building, the flat retains period character and provides a private rear garden — rare for this building type.
Internally the layout includes a spacious living room, separate dining room, kitchen and a newly fitted shower room, all across approximately 710 sq ft. Services are strong: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and affordable council tax help running costs. The tenure is freehold, simplifying ownership compared with typical flats.
The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it suitable for a buyer with renovation plans or an investor targeting added-value refurbishment. The EPC is D and some decorative and updating work will be needed to bring rooms and finishes up to contemporary standards.
Location is a clear advantage: shops, cafés and community amenities are all close by, with very good transport links into the city centre and quick access to local healthcare and leisure facilities. Buyers should note the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale considerations and local services.
Overall, this is an affordable, character-filled home with outside space and clear refurbishment upside for someone seeking a project or entry into the Edinburgh market.
