A bright, characterful two-bedroom flat on Portobello High Street, presented in excellent order and ready to move into. High ceilings, a reconditioned sash window and a large living room give the apartment a generous feel despite its compact overall size (approximately 510 sq ft). Contemporary touches — a modern bathroom with jacuzzi bath and a fitted kitchen — sit comfortably alongside period features such as original wood flooring and a focal fireplace.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, secure entry, fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage. The property forms part of a fully owner-occupied C-listed building and has access to a communal courtyard garden. It lies in the Towerbank Primary School catchment and is surrounded by a wide range of shops, cafes and transport links on the High Street.
Buyers should note two material constraints: the building’s C listing can restrict changes and may add costs or delays for alterations, and the flat’s overall footprint is small, so storage and space planning will be important. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term investment outlook for some buyers.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer or couple who value period character, low-maintenance living and an unbeatable High Street location by the beach. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the natural light, proportions and the blend of original detail with modern convenience.
