Summary - 2F2, 74, GEORGE STREET, EDINBURGH EH2 3BU
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright, generously proportioned flat in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.
Prime corner New Town location, steps from tram and Waverley station
Spacious 1,074 sq ft Georgian flat with high ceilings and sash windows
Two double bedrooms, two bathrooms; master with en‑suite and built‑ins
Freehold tenure with secure entryphone and well‑maintained stair
Electric panel heating throughout — higher running costs likely
Some cosmetic updating required; previously used as a rental
No private outdoor space; city‑centre outlook and street noise possible
Council Tax Band E; wider postcode flagged as very deprived
Set on the prestigious corner of George and Frederick Street, this substantial second‑floor Georgian flat offers classic New Town proportions and abundant period character. High ceilings, large sash windows and original features — including cornicing, timber panelling and a fireplace — create an elegant, light‑filled living space well suited to city‑centre living or lettings. The apartment extends to about 1,074 sq ft with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en‑suite to the main bedroom.
The location is a standout: central George Street with immediate access to high‑end shops, restaurants, the tram, buses and Waverley station. The property is freehold and benefits from secure entryphone access, good broadband speeds and excellent mobile signal — practical for modern living and for maintaining a rental income.
The flat has been used as a let and, while mechanically sound, will benefit from cosmetic updating to bring finishes up to contemporary standards. Heating is electric (panel heaters) which can be costly and may not suit buyers seeking gas central heating. Council Tax is Band E and the surrounding postcode is flagged as very deprived, which is a notable consideration for owner‑occupiers and investors assessing local demand and yields.
This is a rare chance to acquire a generously proportioned Georgian apartment in a prime city‑centre setting. For buyers willing to refresh the décor and consider heating upgrades, the property offers substantial space, clear period appeal and strong location credentials — and potential upside if pedestrianisation of George Street proceeds as proposed.
