Set on the top floor of a B‑listed building off Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, this one‑bed flat delivers authentic Old Town character with practical modern upgrades. The apartment offers a spacious sitting room (currently used as an additional bedroom), a double bedroom with built‑in storage, a high‑gloss fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a skylight that brightens the space. Gas central heating and a 1000Mbps broadband potential support comfortable city living.
Location is the main draw: immediate access to the Royal Mile’s restaurants, bars, cultural attractions and public transport links, with Waverley station under a quarter mile away. The flat is well suited to buyers wanting a central pied‑à‑terre, students or commuters seeking proximity to city amenities, or investors targeting central Edinburgh stock.
Buyers should note the property’s B‑listed status, which can restrict alterations and add cost or delay to refurbishment plans. There is no dedicated parking and the property sits in a very deprived postcode area — factors that may affect some buyers’ priorities. All window furnishings, floor coverings, light fixtures and appliances are included in the sale, and the home report valuation is £245,000 compared with the asking price of £235,000.
