Bright first-floor period flat close to city centre — ideal for investors or commuters..
First-floor Victorian tenement with period features
Set on the first floor of a traditional Victorian tenement in Hillside, this two-bedroom flat combines period character with practical city living. High ceilings, large sash windows and decorative cornicing give the principal rooms a bright, airy feel while neutral décor provides a ready-to-move-in finish. At 589 sq ft the layout is compact but well-proportioned, suitable for professionals, couples or buy-to-let purchasers.
The accommodation includes a corner living room with twin windows and fireplace, a dining kitchen with Belfast sink and space for appliances, two bedrooms with built-in platform beds, a separate WC and a shower room. A communal enclosed rear garden and on-street permit parking (Zone N1) are available; the property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Location is a major asset: Hillside sits just east of the City Centre with easy access to Leith Walk, St James Quarter, trams at Picardy Place and McDonald Road, and many local amenities. Waverley Station and central employment hubs are within walking distance, making this a convenient base for commuting or short-term lets.
Notable considerations: the flat is small for modern family needs and sits in a very deprived local area, which may affect resale or tenant profiles. Parking is on-street only via permits and outdoor space is communal rather than private. Buyers should inspect the building’s communal areas and services to confirm maintenance and any communal costs, which are not specified here.
