A bright two-bedroom top-floor apartment occupying a corner position in a traditional sandstone tenement, moments east of Edinburgh city centre. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and period details give the principal rooms strong natural light and character. The dining-room/kitchen is well-proportioned and benefits from walk-in storage cupboards, while a small box room offers a home-office or study option.
The property is well placed for Meadowbank Sports Centre, Meadowbank Retail Park and direct access to Holyrood Park and public transport. At around 723 sq ft the layout suits first-time buyers, couples or buy-to-let investors seeking central location with period charm. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Practical points to note: this is a top-floor flat accessed by communal stair (no lift) and parking is by permit on-street only. The apartment appears to have basic fixtures and would likely benefit from kitchen and bathroom updating to maximise long-term value. The building and flat show sound external condition, but internal refurbishment may be needed depending on desired finish.
The property is freehold, council tax is described as low, and there is a communal rear garden rather than a private garden. The surrounding area is mixed and classified as a cosmopolitan, migrant commuter neighbourhood with many local amenities; parts of the wider area are relatively deprived, which may affect long-term rental demand and resale in certain budgets.
