Gas central heating and double glazing throughout

Set on the first floor of a handsome red sandstone tenement in sought-after Blackford, this well-presented Victorian flat blends period character with modern finishes. A large south-facing bay lounge fills the apartment with natural light, while high corniced ceilings and fireplaces retain authentic charm. The newly fitted dining kitchen offers generous dining space plus a utility/office area for flexible living.
The layout suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance city property: two double bedrooms, a contemporary shower room and useful hall storage within an average-sized 886 sq ft footprint. Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and excellent mobile and fast broadband — useful for commuters and students nearby.
Notable positives are offset by practical considerations. Parking is on-street only and council tax banding is above average. The surrounding area is described as having higher levels of deprivation and is a busy student/commuter neighbourhood, which may affect long-term rental yield or family-oriented purchasers. The property is chain-free and freehold, simplifying a prompt purchase for buyers who want a move-in-ready home or an investment with immediate rental potential.
