Summary - 2F1, 8, HILLSIDE STREET EH7 5HB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large central apartment with renovation potential close to Princes Street.
Freehold two-bedroom flat, circa 984 sq ft
A rare central Edinburgh freehold flat offering almost 1,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation on the first/second floor of a traditional sandstone tenement. The apartment retains period details such as cornice work, bay window and a vintage fireplace, and benefits from generous room proportions, built-in storage and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for short-term lets or modern city living once updated.
The layout includes a large front living room, separate kitchen/dining space, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom, with good circulation and multiple storage cupboards off the entrance hall. Positioned close to Princes Street, the St James’ Quarter and excellent public transport links (tram and Waverley Station), the location is strong for commuters, students and city-centre renters.
Important: the property requires complete modernisation throughout and will need an investment programme to bring systems, décor and kitchen/bathroom up to modern standards. The building’s exterior and some communal parts also appear in need of upkeep. There is limited private outdoor space and on-street parking only.
This flat will suit a buyer prepared to renovate for rental income or resale, or an owner-occupier seeking a large, characterful central property to remodel. Fast connectivity and proximity to amenities add to the long-term appeal, but budget realistically for refurbishment and any communal works.
