Set on the second floor of a traditional Edinburgh tenement, this compact two-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary finishes. The living/dining room benefits from a bay window that floods the principal rooms with light, while fitted kitchen and bathroom keep day-to-day maintenance low. Excellent built-in storage helps compensate for the modest overall footprint.
The property is well placed for access to Holyrood Park, Meadowbank Retail Park and regular transport links into the city centre, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a straightforward buy‑to‑let. Residents also share a maintained communal rear garden and drying green, useful outdoor space in a dense urban setting.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 345 sq ft) and there is no private garden; outdoor amenity is communal only. The building sits on a mixed-use street with retail at ground floor level, and traditional stonework will require routine upkeep. The local area is lively and predominately student/commuter focused, which may suit those prioritising convenience over quiet seclusion.
