Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian stone terrace, this compact one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Granton Road’s Trinity-adjacent corridor. The apartment’s high building ceilings and attic skylights bring natural light into the living space, while the layout includes a separate WC and access to a shared rear garden — useful extras for a small home.
At about 424 sq ft, the flat suits a single buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance city base close to shops, buses and local amenities. Broadband speeds are fast and on-street parking is available nearby. The property is Freehold and sits in a largely residential neighbourhood of professionals and migrant commuters, with clear views from the upper level and typical period features externally.
Buyers should note material considerations: the accommodation is small, EPC-rated E, and council tax is above average. The building is in a very deprived area overall, which may affect resale dynamics. The flat appears in generally tidy condition but will likely benefit from energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and value.
Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase for a first-time buyer or investor wanting an affordable, characterful one-bedroom in north Edinburgh. Its compact footprint keeps running costs lower, while the location and shared garden add practical appeal. Factor in renovation and efficiency works when assessing the price and long-term return.
