Second-floor access only (no lift); fireplace needs modernisation
Freshly decorated and well-presented, this traditional second-floor tenement flat offers a practical, move-in-ready home for a first-time buyer or a straightforward buy-to-let. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a bright living/dining room with original hardwood floors, and a modern shower room. Recent upgrades include full double glazing, gas central heating and a boiler installed November 2023.
At about 660 sq ft, the layout is comfortable rather than spacious; rooms retain period character such as high ceilings and an original fireplace, though the fireplace and some finishes would benefit from sympathetic modernisation. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer) and good storage, while a deep cupboard in the principal bedroom adds practical storage space.
Location is a clear selling point: the flat sits a short walk from Portobello’s amenities—cafés, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities—and has excellent public transport links. There is access to a shared rear garden for outdoor space. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
Be aware of a couple of material considerations. The property is in an area classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and local services. The flat is on the second floor of a tenement (no lift), so stairs are required. Overall, this is a sensible purchase for someone wanting period character with recent practical upgrades and clear rental or owner-occupier potential.
