This bright, south-facing two-bedroom tenement flat offers generous natural light and classic period character in Polwarth, under 1.5 miles from the city centre. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner creates a sociable living space with a window seat and feature fireplace, while two well-proportioned double bedrooms suit a couple, sharers or first-time buyers.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and access to well-kept communal gardens. The flat is offered in tidy, habitable condition but shows dated fittings and décor, so straightforward cosmetic updating and kitchen modernisation would unlock its full potential. No warranty is given for systems — buyers should allow for service checks and possible repairs.
Parking is by residents’ on-street permit only. Tenure is not stated, and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental demand in parts; however the location benefits from excellent transport links, nearby shops and green spaces, appealing to commuters and students.
Overall this is a practical city flat that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a period property with scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
