Set within a traditional Victorian tenement in the heart of Gorgie, this bright first-floor one-bedroom flat offers affordable city living with character features and practical space. The front-facing lounge with a decorative mantlepiece and the double bedroom both capture natural light, while an efficient kitchen and fully tiled en-suite shower room provide ready-to-use accommodation.
This freehold flat will particularly suit first-time buyers, city professionals and buy-to-let investors seeking a compact property close to local amenities and strong transport links. The building benefits from period sandstone character, a sizeable communal garden to the rear, and on-street permit/metered parking. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living and working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note the property has single glazing throughout and sits in a very deprived area, which may affect long-term capital growth and energy efficiency. The flat is currently empty and has been virtually staged to show potential; some buyers may wish to update finishes or improve glazing for comfort and savings on heating costs.
A fixed closing date is set for Wednesday 10 September 2025 at 12 noon — an important detail for those planning offers. Council Tax Band B means running costs are comparatively low for the city. Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter home or rental opportunity with scope for targeted improvements to add value.
