Set within a handsome Victorian tenement in popular Morningside, this first-floor one-bedroom flat balances original character with practical modern upgrades. High ceilings, a bay-windowed sitting room and an Edinburgh press give authentic period charm, while gas central heating and double glazing help keep running costs reasonable. The layout includes a versatile box room ideal for a home office or storage.
The location is a major draw for a first-time buyer: local cafés, shops and the Dominion cinema are minutes away, with reliable public transport into the city centre. The nearby parks and Braid Hills offer easy access to green space and weekend walks. On-street permit parking (Zone B2) and strong broadband and mobile coverage add practical convenience for everyday living.
Buyers should note the flat is sold as seen and the advertisement includes an alternative floorplan for reference only; no planning permission has been sought. There is no communal factor, and the property sits in an area described as more deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental dynamics. Overall, this is an affordable entry-point into a desirable neighbourhood, with scope to personalise and add value through sympathetic updating.
