Generous Georgian flat with castle views and three-bedroom potential.
Exceptional views of Edinburgh Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral
A rare upper-floor flat in a handsome Georgian crescent, this spacious 2-bedroom home offers exceptional views over Edinburgh Castle and St Mary’s Cathedral. High ceilings, large sash windows and generous room sizes create a bright, airy feel throughout the 1,306 sq ft (approx) accommodation. The living/dining room and principal bedroom take full advantage of the elevated outlook, while the building’s period façade and communal stair retain strong character.
The layout currently provides two double bedrooms, a separate breakfasting kitchen and a bathroom with shower over bath. There is clear potential to reconfigure space — the kitchen could be relocated to create a three-bedroom flat, subject to local authority permission. Included in the sale are fitted carpets, cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher; all appliances are sold as seen with no warranty.
Practical positives include gas central heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very good public transport links by bus, tram and rail. parking is on-street (permit/pay and display). Buyers should note council tax is above average and the surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which can affect local services and resale dynamics. The property is freehold and has no flooding risk. Overall, this is a character-rich city-centre home suited to buyers seeking space, views and potential to add a bedroom in Edinburgh’s coveted West End.
