Private front garden plus well-maintained communal rear garden

Refurbished shower room; single bathroom only
Compact overall size (~514 sq ft) — limited storage and living space
Freehold tenure; permit on-street parking only
Area classified as very deprived — consider local rental/market dynamics
Set in one of Marchmont’s most sought-after streets, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat combines period charm with recent modern upgrades. High ceilings, sash windows and an original fireplace give the main sitting/dining room strong character and generous natural light, while the refurbished shower room and fitted kitchen provide practical, contemporary living.
The property benefits from a private front garden and access to a well-kept communal rear garden — a rare outdoor advantage for a central flat. With permit on-street parking and excellent broadband and mobile signal, it suits those who want city living with nearby green space: The Meadows and Edinburgh University are a short walk away.
Space is limited at about 514 sq ft and there is a single bathroom, so the layout will suit first-time buyers or professionals rather than families needing larger accommodation. The building sits in a mixed-use, student-and-commuter neighbourhood and the wider area is classified as very deprived; buyers should consider local market dynamics if planning buy-to-let.
Overall this is a well-presented period flat that offers immediate move-in comfort, attractive outdoor space for the setting, and decent rental potential. Buyers seeking larger rooms or a quieter suburb may find the size and location limiting, but for those prioritising proximity to the city, university and parks, this is a practical and characterful option.
