Summary - 3F1, 28, EARL GREY STREET EH3 9BN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Move-in ready city flat close to parks, transport and shops.
Bright third-floor flat with strong natural light
This bright third-floor flat in Tollcross offers compact city-centre living with strong transport links and local amenities on the doorstep. The open-plan sitting room, dining and kitchen create a versatile social space, while the large double bedroom benefits from excellent built-in storage. Integrated appliances, fitted flooring and included blinds make it move-in ready for a first home or buy-to-let.
Practical factors are straightforward: the property is freehold, factored by Wheatley Homes at approximately £109 per quarter (about £436 yearly noted as below average), and council tax is low. There is no private outdoor space and the flat faces the street, so expect typical urban noise from the busy thoroughfare below.
The flat’s compact footprint (around 398 sq ft) suits a single occupant or couple, and the location close to The Meadows, Bruntsfield Links, universities and Haymarket station boosts appeal for commuters and students. The apartment is in good decorative order but offers modest refurbishment potential to increase comfort or rental yield.
Be candid about the neighbourhood: Tollcross is lively and cosmopolitan but classified as a very deprived, multicultural student area, which affects local character and tenant mix. For buyers seeking central convenience, strong connectivity and immediate amenities, this flat represents an affordable city entry-point with clear scope for improvement.
