Summary - Canongate, Old Town, Edinburgh, EH8 EH8 8BS
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful 2-bed with balcony and refurbishment potential on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile.
Royal Mile location, moments from Holyrood and Waverley Station
Set on the quieter end of the Royal Mile, this elegant two-bedroom flat offers a rare chance to live in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town with streets, culture and transport on your doorstep. The dual-aspect living room floods with light and opens onto a private rear-facing balcony — a prized spot for a morning coffee above the city.
The apartment retains original character and comfortable proportions across roughly 619 sq ft. A 1970s-style kitchen and a simple three-piece bathroom present clear scope for modest modernisation to increase comfort and value. Practical extras include shared ground-floor storage and an overall freehold tenure.
Practical considerations are straightforward: broadband speeds are slow, there is a single bathroom, and the immediate area is classified as very deprived and highly cosmopolitan — a lively, mixed neighbourhood popular with commuters, students and visitors. Mobile signal is excellent and local transport links, including Waverley Station, Holyrood and city-centre amenities, are all within easy reach.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a centrally located home with character and refurbishment potential. It’s a solid base with immediate livability and clear opportunities to increase value through thoughtful updating.
