Summary - 29/16 Watson Crescent, Edinburgh, EH11 1EY EH11 1HA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with 481 sq ft of living space
This top-floor one-bedroom flat in a traditional Victorian tenement offers a compact, characterful home in a well-connected part of Edinburgh. With 481 sq ft of living space, it suits a first-time buyer, commuter or buy-to-let investor seeking a property to personalise. The flat benefits from good natural light, communal gardens, and nearby transport links including the Union Canal and local bus routes.
The accommodation includes a generous main room, a separate small kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and some built-in storage. The building has a secure entry system and permit/metered off-street parking. Council tax is described as cheap and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong—practical advantages for working professionals or tenants.
Important: the flat needs renovation and modernisation throughout. The property is a fixer-upper with mid-century and period features that require updating; buyers should allow budget for a kitchen and bathroom upgrade, cosmetic works and possible redecoration. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived and a cosmopolitan student area, which affects local ambience and may influence rental profiles.
Overall this is a realistic opportunity to buy into a popular central location at an attractive price. For those willing to invest time and money, the flat offers good potential for value gain and rental demand due to its location near Polwarth, Bruntsfield and the Meadows.
