Summary - FLAT 33, 5, WATERFRONT AVENUE, EDINBURGH EH5 1RT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Modern one-bed with balcony and low monthly service charge.
Fifth-floor one-bedroom flat with private balcony
A bright fifth-floor one-bedroom flat offering efficient, modern living in Granton. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space opens to a private balcony, bringing natural light and extra outdoor space for a small table and plants. The double bedroom has built-in storage and room for freestanding furniture, while the bathroom includes a shower-over-bath and a heated towel rail.
Practical day-to-day living is well catered for: gas central heating, double glazing, a secure entry system and a passenger lift serve the floor. The development includes maintained communal grounds, bin and bike stores, and unallocated residents’ parking. The property is freehold and presented as an average-sized one-bed (about 550 sq ft), making it straightforward to run for a first-time buyer or someone downsizing.
Costs are clear and modest: the factoring/service charge is approximately £60 per calendar month (£720 annually), and the property sits in an affordable Council Tax Band C. There is no flood risk recorded. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as strong, useful for home working or streaming.
Important local factors to note: the wider area is classified as very deprived and the neighbourhood has a cosmopolitan, student and migrant-family character. That mix brings convenience and amenities but can mean higher footfall and a lively street scene. Parking is unallocated rather than a dedicated bay, so car owners should allow for variable availability. Overall this is a practical, modern one-bed with straightforward running costs and good transport links—best suited to first-time buyers, professionals and downsizers who prioritise low-maintenance, affordable city living.
