Characterful central apartment with refurbishment potential close to main transport and attractions.
Second-floor one-bedroom flat in Edinburgh Old Town
A compact one-bedroom flat set on the second floor of an 18th-century sandstone building in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Its High Street position places key attractions, shopping and Waverley station within easy walking distance, making the apartment well suited to short‑let investors or as a city pied‑à‑terre.
The living room is generously proportioned for the property and features a bowed wall and sash-and-case windows that capture views towards Princes Street and The Balmoral Hotel. The accommodation includes a separate fitted kitchen with appliances, a double bedroom with storage, and a shower bathroom. Gas central heating provides reliable warmth.
The flat requires modernisation and redecoration throughout; decorative finishes are dated and kitchen/bathroom upgrades would add value. Broadband speeds are reported very slow—this may affect short‑let appeal until upgraded. Permit and metered on‑street parking nearby; tenure is freehold.
Overall this is a compact, characterful city‑centre property with strong location appeal and clear scope for improvement. It will suit buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment for rental income or improved resale, and those who prioritise central living over private outdoor space.
