Central two-bedroom flat with period charm and Calton Hill views, ready for modern living..
High ceilings, ornate cornicing and feature fireplace
Set on Montgomery Street in sought-after Hillside, this two-bedroom second-floor flat combines genuine Georgian character with practical city living. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, a feature fireplace and bay-style windows give strong period appeal and deliver natural light and outlooks toward Calton Hill. The open-plan sitting room and kitchen provides a flexible social space, and gas central heating plus very fast broadband make the apartment ready for modern urban life.
At about 660 sq ft (61.3 sqm) the layout is compact but well arranged: a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a second bedroom currently fitted with a high sleeper to maximise space, and a three-piece shower room. On-street permit parking (zone N1) and excellent public transport links put the city centre, tram stop and Waverley within easy reach—ideal for commuters or a first-time buyer seeking central convenience.
Notable practical points: the property is freehold but part of a factored tenement (approx. £300 per quarter; service charge c. £1,200 annually) and some items are included in the sale with no warranties. The area is classed as very deprived in local indices and sits within a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood—appealing to many but important for buyers seeking quieter streets. EPC D and Council Tax band C (approx. £1,923.47 incl. water/sewerage) are provided for clarity.
This flat will suit a buyer who values period features and central living, and who is happy with a compact, well-preserved apartment that may benefit from updating to personal taste. It represents straightforward city-centre living with good rental or owner-occupier potential given location and connectivity.
