Bright character apartment close to Waverley and university facilities.
Freehold fourth-floor conversion in historic Georgian stone building
Set on the fourth floor of a stone-fronted Old Town tenement, this two-bedroom flat combines period character with bright, high-ceilinged rooms. Large sash windows and an attic-style roofline give good natural light; rooms feel generous for central-city accommodation. The property is presented with neutral finishes and usable living space, suitable for owner-occupation or letting.
Practical points are clear: the flat sits above ground-floor commercial premises and is accessed via communal stair, typical of historic conversions. Sloping ceilings in parts and the attic-style layout limit full-height floor area in places but add character. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. The building is freehold and shows evidence of well-maintained stonework externally.
Location is a major strength — a short walk to Edinburgh Waverley, the Royal Mile, university facilities and green spaces such as the Meadows and Holyrood Park. The immediate neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, multicultural student area with extensive local amenities and public transport, making the flat attractive to students, professionals and investors seeking central-city rental demand.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale dynamics and letting profiles. Internal layout and some low ceilings mean refurbishment could increase usable value; therefore this property will suit purchasers who prioritise location and character over generous floorplan depth.
