Summary - 4/1, RANKEILLOR STREET, EDINBURGH EH8 9HY
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Large three-bedroom Georgian tenement flat — ideal buy-to-let or city pied-à-terre.
Three double/single flexible bedrooms in a 1,076 sq ft first-floor flat
A spacious three-bedroom, first-floor flat in a striking traditional stone tenement on Rankeillor Street. Generous room sizes, tall ceilings and intact period features — cornicing, sash-and-case windows and a period fireplace — give the apartment strong character that appeals to long-term renters and short-term visitors alike. The layout includes a living/dining room, fitted kitchen, three flexible bedrooms, a box room and useful utility cupboard, plus a private cellar and shared rear garden for extra storage and outdoor space.
Practical upgrades make the flat ready to occupy: double-glazed sash windows, contemporary flooring, refurbished period timber floors and a recently replaced gas boiler. The kitchen is fully integrated and the bathroom is stylishly fitted, reducing immediate maintenance needs. The property is sold freehold and measures about 1,076 sq ft, offering good square footage for a city-centre flat and clear buy-to-let or pied-à-terre potential.
Considerations: there is a single family bathroom serving three bedrooms, which may limit sharers or require renovation for higher-yield lets. The local area is a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with lively daytime and evening activity; this brings rental demand but can also mean higher turnover and noise at times. Council Tax Band E and an official local classification of ‘very deprived’ should be weighed against rental income projections and management costs.
Positioned two miles south of the city centre, the flat benefits from excellent transport links, nearby amenities and green spaces such as The Meadows and Holyrood Park. For investors seeking a well-presented period property with strong location appeal, or buyers wanting a roomy city pied-à-terre, this flat offers immediate rental readiness with scope for modest upgrading to increase returns.
