Large character basement flat with study, private patio and four cellars in New Town.
Large 1‑bed plus study/box room (approx 109.3 sqm / 1,055 sqft)
A rare lower‑ground Georgian flat in Edinburgh’s New Town, this large one‑bedroom home (approx 109.3 sqm / 1,055 sqft) combines generous room sizes and period character with a hugely central postcode. High ceilings, working shutters, feature fireplaces and a separate study/box room give flexibility for home working or extra storage. The dining kitchen opens onto a private rear patio and four under‑pavement cellars (one dry‑lined) provide valuable additional storage.
The property sits on Dundas Street within the UNESCO New Town conservation area, minutes from Princes Street, George Street, St James Quarter and excellent transport links including tram and Waverley station. Residents may apply for a Queen Street Gardens key (annual fee applies). On‑street permit and pay‑and‑display parking is available in Zone 5A.
Buyers should note material facts: the EPC rating is F and council tax band E (2025/26 figure provided), running costs may be above average, and the sale includes all window furnishings and appliances but no warranties. The listing records electric room heaters as the heating provision (another part of the description references gas central heating); purchasers should verify the heating system and service history. There is no factor service for the building, so communal maintenance responsibility sits with owners.
This flat will suit a first‑time buyer or professional wanting substantial, characterful accommodation in the city centre with scope to personalise and reduce running costs. It’s particularly attractive if you value location, internal space and useful dry‑lined cellar storage, but factor in likely energy‑upgrade and ongoing maintenance costs.
