This first-floor two-bedroom flat in a traditional Victorian tenement on Easter Road offers an affordable entry to central Edinburgh. At about 517 sq ft, the layout is compact and efficient: an open-plan living room and fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a smaller second bedroom/office and a modern three-piece shower room. The building’s stone façade and high ceilings give period character that many buyers value.
The property is sold freehold and includes fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated oven, hob and extractor, and a freestanding fridge/freezer. Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing and access to an enclosed communal garden. Controlled permit on-street parking (Zone N7) serves residents.
Important to note: the flat needs cosmetic renovation throughout — the living space shows dated finishes and some damp is visible in places. The apartment is small, so it suits a single occupant, couple, or investor targeting the city rental market rather than a family seeking generous floor space. The local area is a cosmopolitan, busy neighbourhood with strong transport links, many amenities and a large student and commuter population; wider area indicators show higher deprivation, which can influence rental demand and long-term capital growth.
For buyers willing to invest in updating, this flat presents clear scope to add value through refurbishment and redecoration. Its central location, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and efficient layout make it a practical option for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a city-centre let.
