Spacious period home near the Meadows and city centre transport links.
Freehold two-bedroom first-floor flat in landmark 1858 Gothic building
Set within a striking 1858 Gothic Revival building by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, this generous two-bedroom first-floor flat combines high ceilings and period detail with contemporary comforts. The living room's large windows, cornicing and feature fireplace create a bright, characterful principal reception space, while the kitchen/breakfast room offers practical fitted units and room for casual dining.
The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted wardrobes; the second double features a dramatic oriel window with pointed arch and excellent outlooks over the adjoining church. Gas central heating from a Worcester Greenstar combi boiler provides efficient heating, and communal areas are well maintained. The flat is freehold, close to the Meadows, Bruntsfield and the city centre, and sits within easy walking distance of universities, shops and public transport — ideal for first-time buyers, sharers or buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: works to windows, internal alterations or external changes will be subject to listed-building consent and can add time and cost to renovations. There is no private outdoor space and parking is on-street via permit. The surrounding neighbourhood is lively and cosmopolitan but classified as very deprived in parts, which may influence resale or rental considerations.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful flat in a landmark building that offers strong location benefits and solid period bones. It will suit purchasers who value architectural character and city living and who understand the constraints and responsibilities that come with a listed property.
