This main-door lower ground flat offers a compact, characterful base in Edinburgh’s sought-after New Town. The living room’s twin windows, wood-burning stove and varnished floors create a warm, light-filled social space, while two rear bedrooms — one with direct garden access — suit sharers or a small family.
The kitchen is fitted with high-gloss units and integrated appliances, included in the sale, so you can move in with minimal immediate expense. Practical additions include two under-pavement cellars for storage, separate WC, and permit on-street parking (Zone 6).
Be aware this is a modest-sized property (circa 566 sq ft) on a lower ground floor of a Georgian terrace: while it benefits from period features and high ceilings, some areas may show typical wear and could benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. The wider area is lively and student/commuter-focused and has pockets of deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appeal.
Overall, the flat presents an affordable route into a prestigious New Town address with genuine character, sensible running costs, and good digital connectivity — an attractive option for first-time buyers or city-based professionals seeking central living with garden access.
