Set on the fourth floor of a traditional Edinburgh tenement, this spacious one-bedroom flat blends striking Victorian character with modern services. A bright bay-windowed living room with high ceilings, original cornicing and an open fireplace offers generous living space and south‑west views towards the Pentland Hills. The well-proportioned double bedroom, plus two versatile box rooms, create flexible accommodation for a first home or city let.
The dining kitchen is fitted with shaker-style cabinetry and room for casual dining. The property benefits from new wiring and plumbing throughout and a contemporary shower room, lowering immediate refurbishment costs. Residents share a well-maintained communal garden and have access to on-street permit parking nearby.
Practical points to note: the flat is on the fourth floor of a traditional block (likely no lift) and fronts a busy commercial street, so there can be city noise and accessibility limitations. The wider neighbourhood is cosmopolitan and popular with students and commuters; the area scores as very deprived statistically, which may influence resale and rental dynamics. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
Overall this freehold, characterful apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a sizable, well-serviced city flat with strong period charm and good natural light. It offers immediate move-in readiness with scope to personalise the interior while benefitting from the building’s classic features and central West End location.
