Summary - 55/12, HOME STREET, EDINBURGH EH3 9JP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central location near Meadows and university — strong rental demand potential.
One double bedroom with generous built-in storage
A bright one-bedroom top-floor flat quietly set to the rear of a traditional sandstone tenement in Tollcross. The accommodation includes a spacious sitting room with city views, a modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and a contemporary wet room. Electric heating and double glazing are fitted throughout.
Location is a primary draw: immediate access to The Meadows, Bruntsfield Links and the University of Edinburgh, with strong bus links and Haymarket station within easy reach. Nearby amenities include cafes, shops and leisure facilities, making it straightforward to let to students or city professionals.
Externally the property benefits from a shared rear garden and permit on-street parking nearby; there is no private off-street parking. The flat is of average internal size (around 527 sq ft) and sits above ground-floor commercial units on a mixed-use high street, so occasional street noise is possible. The building is traditional Victorian sandstone, offering period character alongside modern internal fittings.
For investors, the central position and proximity to higher-education campuses support steady rental demand. Note practical drawbacks: electric heating (higher running costs than gas), no private garden or dedicated parking, and the local area is described as very deprived, factors that may influence rental yield and management considerations.
