Summary - 42/5, PARKSIDE TERRACE, EDINBURGH EH16 5XR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Well-located, low-maintenance flat near universities and the city centre.
Second-floor two-bedroom flat with views towards Arthur’s Seat
Set on the second floor of a well-maintained 1980s development in Newington, this two-bedroom flat offers bright living space with pleasant views towards Arthur’s Seat. The reception room, practical fitted kitchen and built-in storage make efficient use of the 603 sq ft layout.
The home benefits from double glazing, energy-efficient electric heating and communal garden grounds with off-street residents’ parking. It is freehold and presented in a modern style, making it a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting a low-maintenance flat close to the city and universities.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall size and single bathroom, which may suit first-time owners or those seeking a city base rather than a large family home. There is an annual service charge (about £1,200) covering communal maintenance and buildings insurance. The wider neighbourhood is a busy, cosmopolitan student area with higher turnover and local deprivation indicators, so consider rental demand and local amenity levels if buying as an investment.
Overall, the flat offers an accessible, well-located city home with clear rental and resale appeal for first-time buyers or landlords who prioritise location and ease of upkeep over larger living space.
