2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom Victorian flat with garden access, period charm and strong refurbishment potential.
South-facing bay-windowed living room with high ceilings and fireplace
Large overall size — approximately 1,141 sq ft (spacious rooms)
Two double bedrooms plus two box rooms and an attic for storage
Well-maintained communal rear garden with mature borders
Freehold tenement; gas central heating and excellent mobile signal
Mixture of double and single glazing — some windows may need upgrading
Located in a lively area with strong local amenities; central convenience
Wider postcode flagged as relatively deprived — consider resale factors
Set within a handsome Victorian sandstone terrace, this spacious second/top-floor flat offers unusually generous proportions for city living. The south-facing bay-windowed living room, tall ceilings and period features create bright, characterful reception space while elevated views include Corstorphine Hill. The layout includes a separate dining room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms plus two useful box rooms and attic storage.
The building is freehold and benefits from a well-maintained communal rear garden with mature borders — rare for central flats — and on-street parking nearby. Practical features include gas central heating and a mix of double and single glazing; TV/broadband connections are provided and mobile signal is excellent. At about 1,141 sq ft internally, the flat reads as a large family or professional home rather than a small city flat.
There is scope to modernise parts of the interior to suit contemporary tastes: the property retains period styling and would benefit from targeted updating of windows and some internal finishes. The local area is lively with excellent amenities and transport links, though the wider postcode is flagged as relatively deprived, which may influence resale dynamics for some buyers.
Note the closing date for offers; purchasers should factor in the property’s age, mixed glazing and potential refurbishment costs when budgeting. Overall, this is a generous, characterful tenement flat with garden access and strong potential for buyers seeking space and period detail close to the city centre.
