Chain free, freehold two-bedroom flat in New Town
Generous living room with high ceilings and large sash windows
Approx 864–866 sq ft internal area; good room proportions

Kitchen and bathroom functional; appliances sold as seen, no warranty
No private outdoor space; city-centre location with street noise
Located opposite St James' Quarter: shops, restaurants, transport
Area classification: very deprived; consider local social mix
Set on a handsome Georgian street in Edinburgh’s New Town, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers spacious rooms, high ceilings and period character opposite St James’ Quarter. The dual-aspect living room is bright and welcoming, and the layout gives clear scope for modernising the kitchen and decor to suit contemporary tastes. Included fixtures and appliances are convenient, but are sold as seen with no warranty.
The property is chain free and freehold, appealing to buyers seeking a straightforward purchase in a central location. Transport links are excellent — trams, buses and Waverley Station are close by — making this a practical base for city professionals, commuters or investors targeting short-let demand. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Practical considerations are explicit: the building sits in a very deprived area classification and the flat has no private outdoor space, so expect urban noise and a lively street scene. Secondary glazing is fitted, and gas central heating is in place, but a full refurbishment would allow you to unlock the flat’s full rental or resale potential.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located apartment with solid floor area (around 864–866 sq ft) and period features. It suits buyers who prioritise central convenience and long-term potential over private garden space and a turnkey finish.
