This top-floor one-bedroom flat sits in Edinburgh’s Old Town, offering genuine period character, decorative fireplace and a small private balcony with skyline views. The compact footprint (approx. 376 sq ft) makes it a manageable buy for a single occupant or a straightforward buy‑to‑let in a central location.
Interiors are tidy and mostly move‑in ready, with timber floors, sash-style windows and some attractive original details. The kitchen is efficiently laid out and the bedroom includes a large built‑in cupboard, helping to maximise storage in a modest plan. Residents also have access to a shared garden and a well‑kept communal entrance.
Buyers should note a few practical constraints: overall space is small, some decor is dated and would benefit from modernization, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The wider area is a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with lively amenities nearby; it is also described as very deprived, which may affect long‑term rental demand and resale perceptions.
On the positive side, the flat is freehold, on the top floor with excellent mobile signal and strong central location — valuable for someone prioritising character, proximity to university and city amenities, or an investor seeking central let potential. Consider patching cosmetic updates and addressing broadband options to unlock full rental or owner-occupier appeal.
