2 bed 1 bath Flat
Newly renovated two-bedroom freehold flat in central Fountainbridge — compact, bright and rental-ready..
Freehold two-bedroom flat, newly renovated and move-in ready
About 516 sq ft — compact layout, best for 1–2 occupants
Prominent corner tenement with large sash windows and city views
Previously let successfully; compliance paperwork in place
Upper-floor access via stairs — not suitable for mobility issues
Located above busy retail parade — potential noise and privacy issues
Fast broadband and full 4G; limited 3G and 5G coverage
Located in a cosmopolitan, student-dominated area with higher deprivation
Set on a prominent Fountainbridge corner, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat offers compact city living with period character and modern finishes. The property benefits from large sash-and-case windows and high ceilings that maximise light across the living space and bedrooms, creating an airy feel despite the modest footprint.
Arranged over an upper tenement floor, the flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a central Edinburgh location. It is offered freehold and was previously a successful rental with compliance measures in place, simplifying immediate let-ready considerations for landlords. Fast broadband and excellent 4G mobile coverage support working from home and tenant demand.
Buyers should note practical factors: the home is small at about 516 sq ft, accessed via stairs, and sits above busy ground-floor retail so noise and privacy can be issues. The building is a mixed-use Victorian tenement, so communal maintenance responsibilities and periodic common-area works are likely. The local area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with higher deprivation indicators, which may affect long-term resale or rental profiles.
Overall, this flat represents an affordable, low-management entry to central Edinburgh living or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. Its freshly upgraded interior, central location, and freehold tenure make it appealing — provided purchasers accept the modest size, upper-floor access, and the mixed-use street environment.
