Freehold Victorian flat with open-plan living — ideal first-time buyer or investor opportunity..
Freehold one-bedroom flat in Victorian sandstone tenement
Open-plan living/kitchen with large front windows and good light
Double glazing and central heating for year-round comfort
Compact c.409 sq ft — city-size one-bedroom accommodation
No private garden; on-street parking only
Tidy but dated interior; cosmetic modernisation recommended
Traditional stone building — potential communal maintenance costs
Located in busy Leith with strong rental demand but higher deprivation
This one-bedroom flat occupies a traditional sandstone tenement on Edina Place, placing it in vibrant Leith close to shops, cafes and transport. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from large front windows and good natural light, while double glazing and central heating keep running costs reasonable. Its compact 409 sq ft layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking a city base with strong rental prospects.
Internally the apartment is in tidy, liveable condition but shows signs of its age and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. The living area is modest and the property offers no private outdoor space; parking is on-street. The building’s traditional stone construction means occasional maintenance of communal fabric may be required.
Freehold tenure is an unusual advantage for a flat and will appeal to buyers wanting clearer long-term control. The location and size make this an obvious choice for first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry into Leith or investors targeting consistent local rental demand. Be aware of the neighbourhood’s higher deprivation indicators and factor potential repair and refurbishment costs into your offer.
