Set on Edinburgh’s historic High Street off the Royal Mile, this top‑floor one-bedroom flat offers authentic Old Town character and strong central convenience. High ceilings, original cornicing, an Edinburgh press and wood panelling give the sitting room period charm, while the double bedroom includes built-in storage and a small work nook overlooking the street.
The kitchen is fitted with high‑gloss units, integrated oven and hob, and a skylight that brings natural light into the open plan dining area. Gas central heating, an entry phone system and fast broadband (up to 1000 Mbps) support modern city living. At about 52 sqm (560 sqft) the layout currently reads as one bedroom plus a large sitting room that could function as a second bedroom if desired.
Practical considerations: the building is B‑listed, which preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or planning. There is no parking and no factor service; the neighbourhood is a lively, high‑footfall student and commuter area with busy nightlife nearby. The home report valuation is £245,000 and the property is offered freehold.
This is a good fit for a first‑time buyer or investor seeking central location, character and rental or short‑term let potential, provided they are comfortable with conservation constraints and city‑centre living.
