Bright, characterful one-bedroom tenement flat on a popular Morningside street. The principal living room benefits from high ceilings, a large sash window and period fireplace, creating a generous feel despite the overall compact footprint. The double bedroom and bathroom are well proportioned for the size, and the kitchen provides practical wall and floor storage.
Practical features include double-glazed sash-and-case windows, gas central heating with a smart meter, and a newly installed secure entry system. Residents can use the walled communal garden and on-street permit parking. Service charges are modest (approximately £78 annually) with a quarterly £26 contribution for communal stairwell cleaning.
This property will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central, well-connected home with character and scope to add value. The flat is compact (around 441–443 sq ft) so buyers should expect smaller kitchen and bedroom footprints compared with the generous living room. The communal garden and yard are currently unmaintained and may need landscaping or repair investment.
Notable practical points: council tax is low and broadband and mobile signal are strong. Tenure is unspecified in the details provided; prospective buyers should confirm tenure and any lender requirements before committing.
