Top-floor three-bedroom flat with castle views and high ceilings
A stylish top-floor three-bedroom flat combining period detail with recent upgrades, positioned on Lothian Road in Edinburgh’s lively city centre. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a bay window give the sitting room noticeable character, while the modernised dining kitchen offers integrated appliances and granite worktops — a turn-key city home or rental unit.
Practical features include Ventrolla draft-proofed windows (some with secondary glazing and shutters), Fischer electric heating with individual controls, and included kitchen appliances. The flat sits in a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making it attractive to tenants or professionals seeking central city living. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Notable drawbacks are an EPC rating of F and electrically powered heating, which may mean higher running costs; the property has one bathroom plus a separate WC for three double bedrooms. The building’s top-floor position provides privacy and light but involves stair access and may limit accessibility. The local area is classified as very deprived, which can affect long-term resale values and management considerations for buy-to-let owners.
