A bright, top-floor one-bedroom flat in a handsome Victorian tenement, quietly overlooking Montgomery Street Park. The living room’s bay window, ornate cornicing and feature fireplace deliver real period character while high ceilings emphasise the generous room proportions. The accommodation also includes a large dining kitchen with pantry and utility room, generous bedroom, shower room and a flexible box room ideal for storage or a home workspace.
The building benefits from a secure entry phone system, well-kept communal gardens and good thermal performance from gas central heating and double glazing. The property is offered at a fixed price £11,000 below the home report valuation, presenting immediate value for buyers seeking a spacious, characterful city-base within walking distance of the city centre and local parks such as Calton Hill and Arthur’s Seat.
Practical points to note: the flat is a top-floor (third-floor) walk-up with no lift, and the garden is communal rather than private. Parking is on-street by permit or meter. The wider local area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and the area has pockets of high deprivation; buyers should consider this when evaluating long-term rental or resale prospects.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or professional who prioritises space, period detail and proximity to central Edinburgh amenities. It could also appeal to buy-to-let investors looking for strong letting demand near universities and transport links, though the local area profile should be factored into rental assumptions.
