A compact, chain-free one bedroom ground-floor flat in a traditional Pirrie Street tenement, offered freehold and ready for immediate purchase. The double bedroom has built-in wardrobes and the flat opens onto a communal garden — a rare outdoor space for this part of Leith. Transport links are strong, making the city centre and local amenities easily accessible.
The accommodation is small (approximately 388 sq ft) and follows a traditional layout with high ceilings and period character. The living room and other rooms show dated finishes and would benefit from cosmetic updating to modernise the space and maximise rental or resale value. The EPC is D.
This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s market or an investor looking for a low-maintenance buy with good letting potential. Be aware the local area is classified as very deprived, which affects surrounding services and may influence long-term values; council tax is very cheap, reflecting local charges.
Overall, this is a practical, low-cost way to secure a period flat in Leith with outdoor space and excellent transport — best for buyers willing to accept a small footprint and carry out light refurbishment.
