Light-filled, newly renovated one-bedroom flat in a classic Marchmont tenement, offered freehold and ready to move into. The living room benefits from a bay window, hardwood floors and high ceilings, with a separate kitchen and built-in bedroom storage making efficient use of the compact 435 sq ft layout. Two bathrooms add convenience and appeal for sharers or letting. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Location is a major strength: walking distance to the Meadows, Bruntsfield Links, Edinburgh University and a wide range of shops, cafes and transport links. On-street permit and metered parking are available; there is a shared rear garden and a secure entry system. The property sits in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood attractive to commuters and investors seeking steady rental demand.
Be upfront about size and context: the flat is small overall and sits in a densely populated, very deprived area by local indices — factors that can affect resale profile and tenant mix. The building is a well-maintained Victorian sandstone tenement with period character, but communal areas and on-street parking limit private outdoor and parking provision. Ideal for a first-time buyer wanting a central, low-maintenance home or an investor targeting university rentals.
