Light, characterful and rarely available, this two-bedroom first-floor flat sits within a distinctive B‑listed 1899 development at Tron Square, in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town World Heritage Site. The living/dining room benefits from tall ceilings, a feature fireplace and sash-and-case windows; a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom provide contemporary convenience alongside original period charm. Two walk-in stores (one with a window) plus a separate utility cupboard give exceptional storage for a city flat.
This main-door property is arranged around a peaceful communal courtyard and accessed from a Royal Mile vennel, putting the city’s cultural landmarks, eateries and transport links on your doorstep. At 764 sq ft, the layout suits a buy-to-let or short‑stay holiday letting, and also makes a convenient pied‑à‑terre for city use. Gas central heating, varnished wood floors and integrated kitchen appliances add to the practical appeal.
There are important practical considerations: the building’s B‑listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some maintenance works. Broadband speeds are very slow in this location, and the immediate neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student/computer area that can be lively, particularly evenings and weekends. The property is freehold with a Community Association, and Council Tax Band C is affordable for central Edinburgh living.
