Set on the third (top) floor of a traditional sandstone tenement in Abbeyhill, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, well-presented city-base within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre. The living room benefits from a bay window and rooftop views, while a modern kitchen and shower room provide move-in-ready convenience. Gas central heating and double glazing help keep running costs down.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or young professional seeking a manageable property close to transport links, shops and green spaces, the flat sits within a maintained communal garden and is served by reliable mobile and fast broadband. Permit and metered on-street parking are available nearby and council tax is low (Band B).
Buyers should note the flat’s modest overall size (approximately 424 sq ft) and top-floor location, which requires stair access — not suitable for those needing level access. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental perceptions, though the local neighbourhood offers extensive amenities and good transport.
This property suits someone prioritising location, character and low maintenance over large living space, and who is comfortable with shared outdoor areas and street parking. It represents an accessible entry point to Edinburgh’s property market with scope for personal improvement to maximise value.
