This traditional main-door upper flat in sought-after Murrayfield blends Victorian period character with spacious, practical living. High corniced ceilings, a south-facing bay living room with working open fireplace, and stripped wooden floors give the home immediate charm and presence. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a study/box room and a large dining kitchen — well suited to couples, small families or investors seeking a strong rental or short‑stay income stream.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a dual-aspect utility room with direct access to a private rear garden. The property holds a sharing/Airbnb licence, offering clear potential for seasonal or event-driven lets around the Fringe and Murrayfield Stadium. The flat is freehold and offers generous internal space (about 1,118 sq ft), rare for two-bedroom properties in the area.
Buyers should note a few factual drawbacks: the ceramic hob is currently not wired for use and will require attention; parking is on-street and unrestricted, which may not suit owners seeking private parking; council tax is above average (band E). The immediate area is classified in local datasets as having higher deprivation metrics — buyers should consider local amenity and service implications when comparing values.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-proportioned flat with useful outdoor space and clear income potential from short‑term letting. It will suit those who value period detail and generous room sizes, and who are comfortable managing on-street parking and the few technical items needing attention.
