Set just moments from The Meadows and within easy walking distance of the University of Edinburgh, this two-bedroom first-floor flat blends period character with practical city living. High sash windows, decorative cornicing and a welcoming living room give the principal reception strong natural light and a classic feel, while a separate dining area and modern fitted kitchen make daily living straightforward.
Offered freehold and presented with gas central heating throughout, the property measures approximately 682 sq ft and includes access to a peaceful shared rear garden. The current Home Report valuation is £315,000 while the asking price is £300,000, presenting potential immediate value for buyers seeking a well-located city home or a buy-to-let in a student and commuter area.
There are some important considerations: the flat has one bathroom only and is located in an area classified as very deprived, which will influence long-term demand and management for investors. Some furniture may be available by separate negotiation and is sold without guarantees.
This property will suit first-time buyers and investors looking for central location convenience, strong transport links, and proximity to campus. It offers good scope for modest cosmetic updates to increase appeal or rental income, while retaining original Victorian features that add character and rental differentiation.
