Ready-to-move central flat ideal for commuters or buy-to-let investors.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat with canal views potential
Compact 374 sq ft layout — small overall internal space
New double glazing and recently installed gas central heating

Bathroom with shower plus separate WC for convenience
Victorian tenement — stair access only, no lift
Shared rear garden; unrestricted on-street parking nearby
Wider area classified as very deprived — consider long-term growth
This top-floor one-bedroom flat in Polwarth offers a compact, well-presented home with strong commuter appeal. At around 374 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom with recessed storage, bathroom with shower and a separate WC. Recent upgrades include new double glazing and a newly installed gas central heating system, making the property ready to occupy.
Its location is a key selling point — roughly two miles from Princes Street and about ten minutes’ walk to Haymarket station. Regular buses, easy access to the Union Canal and nearby local shops, cafes and leisure facilities make everyday life convenient for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking steady rental demand.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into any decision. The flat is on the top floor of a Victorian tenement with stair access only, and the overall floor area is small. On-street parking is unrestricted but unallocated. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and lettability comparisons with higher-demand neighbourhoods.
For buyers prioritising location, move-in readiness and low immediate maintenance, this flat presents a sensible entry into Edinburgh property. Investors will find straightforward tenancy potential; owner-occupiers will appreciate the modern heating and glazing, but should expect limited internal space and the realities of tenement living.
