Set within a detached Victorian villa in the Colinton Conservation Area, this bright one-bedroom first-floor flat makes efficient use of 408 sq ft. High sash windows and period proportions bring character and natural light to the living space; the compact kitchen and contemporary bathroom complete a practical, move-in-ready layout.
Outside, residents share a well-kept garden and benefit from pleasant outlooks toward the Water of Leith. On-street parking and fast broadband add everyday convenience, while local cafés, shops and transport links put the city centre within easy reach — appealing to a first-time buyer seeking a characterful city-edge home.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall footprint and single bedroom, which suits one or two occupants but limits flexible living space. The property’s EPC rating is D and on-street parking is unallocated. Tenure is noted as Freehold in the listing but should be legally confirmed prior to purchase. Also, some local datasets flag pockets of deprivation — important to check if long-term area trends matter to you.
Overall this flat offers authentic period character, a private garden, and low council tax costs, making it a compact, well-located option for someone seeking an economical first step on the property ladder or a manageable pied-à-terre.
