This compact one-bedroom flat occupies a ground-floor position in a Victorian tenement and offers an economical entry into Edinburgh’s canal-side neighbourhood. At around 333 sq ft it’s a practical, low-cost home or rental for a first-time buyer or student seeking good connectivity and low running costs.
The south-east-facing living room lets in morning light and includes a living-flame fireplace; the adjacent corner kitchen has a gas hob and space for freestanding appliances. The double bedroom retains original wooden flooring and a neutral finish, while a modern shower room and built-in storage keep the layout functional and low-maintenance.
Outside, residents share a garden and drying green that leads down to the Union Canal, useful for walking and leisure. On-street permit parking is available nearby. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and council tax is described as cheap — positives for remote working and budget-conscious buyers.
Be aware of material limitations: the overall footprint is small (approx. 333 sq ft), so storage and entertaining space are restricted. The immediate area is classified as very deprived and has a strong student/commuter character, which may affect long-term neighbourhood feel. The flat is freehold, but being ground-floor in a tenement means shared external areas and communal responsibilities.
