Set within a handsome red sandstone tenement in Blackford, this bright top-floor flat combines period character with practical city living. The living room’s triple bay window, high ceilings and original fireplace give immediate charm, while the boxroom/study offers useful flexible space for home working or storage.
At about 786 sq ft the layout is generous for a one-bedroom property, with a spacious kitchen/diner, utility area and good built-in storage. Practical updates include UPVC double glazing and a combi boiler replaced in 2020. Freehold tenure and on-street parking add convenience for owner-occupiers or landlords.
Buyers should note this is an upper/top-floor flat accessed by communal stair—there is no private garden and outdoor space is communal and modest. The property sits in a wider area classified as deprived, which may affect resale or rental premiums in the short term. The EPC rating is D, so potential buyers may want to budget for energy improvements.
This flat will suit first-time buyers, young professionals or investors seeking a city-centre property with strong rental appeal and scope for light modernisation. Its location gives easy access to transport links, green spaces and local amenities, offering both lifestyle and rental demand in Edinburgh’s south side.
