Summary - 7, BACK STATION ROAD, EDINBURGH EH16 4AY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful period features with modern heating and excellent transport links.
Freehold main-door flat, 510 sq ft, one double bedroom
A well-presented main-door flat quietly set to the rear of a traditional Georgian terrace, this one-bedroom home offers 510 sq ft of practical living space ideal for a first purchase. High ceilings and period sash windows give character while recent double glazing and gas central heating keep running costs down. The layout includes a welcoming hall, comfortable living room, separate modern kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.
The location is a real convenience asset: close to Fort Kinnaird retail park, regular bus routes to the city centre, and pleasant outdoor space at Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat. Communal grounds are well maintained and there’s a drying area; free on-street parking is available. Included fixtures and appliances (cooker, hob, hood, washing machine, fridge-freezer, fitted floor coverings and curtains) are provided as seen with no warranty.
Practical buyers should note material context: the neighbourhood is described as a cosmopolitan student area within a wider ‘challenged transitionary’ classification and the wider locality registers high deprivation. That brings good rental demand and affordability but may mean busier streets and variable local services. Council Tax is low (Band A), which helps holding costs.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer or small household wanting characterful period features, a compact but sensible footprint and easy access to shops, transport and green space. Buyers seeking a fully turn-key warranty on appliances or a quieter suburban setting should weigh those priorities against the property’s strong location and value-for-money footprint.
