Bright living room with rear garden aspect

This well-presented first-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a traditional Edinburgh sandstone tenement in Dalry, offering compact urban living within easy reach of the city centre and Haymarket transport links. The apartment benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a bright living room overlooking the communal rear garden — practical features that keep running costs moderate and comfort reliable.
At about 488 sq ft the layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance home or a straightforward buy-to-let. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with storage, a generous double bedroom with period cornicing, a fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Shared rear garden, on-street permit parking (S4) and excellent local amenities add daily convenience.
Notable negatives are clear and factual: the flat is compact, EPC rated D and sold as seen with standard fixtures included but not guaranteed. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital uplift and tenant mix. There is no private garden and parking is on-street only.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a city-base with low upkeep or investors targeting short-term lets or commuter tenants. The combination of period character, proximity to transport and a modest price point presents immediate occupancy or rental potential, provided buyers accept the constraints of size, EPC rating and the local area profile.
