A compact one-bedroom flat on the second floor of a traditional Victorian tenement in Gorgie, offering straightforward city living close to local shops, eateries and frequent transport links. The living/dining room is spacious for the size, benefitting from high ceilings and a bay window that bring natural light into the principal room.
Suited to a first-time buyer, commuter or investor seeking a city-centre pied-à-terre, the layout includes a separate kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a full bathroom. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the flat’s freehold tenure removes leasehold complications.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approximately 374 sq ft) and the kitchen is compact, so storage and space are limited compared with larger city properties. The building and interior present some fixer-upper characteristics consistent with older tenement stock; cosmetic updating and modernisation are likely needed. EPC rating E indicates energy performance below current best standards.
The local area is lively and convenient with extensive amenities, but it is classed as a very deprived neighbourhood; this brings affordable pricing and rental demand (students/commuters) but also some local social challenges. A closing date is set for Wednesday 10th September at 12 noon — early viewing is recommended to assess suitability.
