Set on the ground floor of a traditional sandstone tenement just off Lothian Road, this two-bedroom flat offers a rare, centrally located starter home with genuine scope for improvement. High ceilings and period features give the principal rooms character, while a sensible 707 sq ft floorplate provides practical, well-proportioned living spaces for a single buyer or couple.
The flat is sold freehold and benefits from a communal rear garden, affordable council tax banding, and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for students, commuters or those working from home. The layout includes a living room, dining kitchen, two bedrooms, shower room and separate WC, offering flexible use and clear potential to modernise to current standards.
The property requires renovation throughout: bathrooms, kitchen and general decoration need updating. Some fixtures are dated and the finish is tired; buyers should budget for a sympathetic refurbishment to unlock value. The surrounding area is lively and cosmopolitan with excellent transport links, cultural venues and universities within walking distance, but it is also described as a very deprived ward, so local dynamics and rental demand should be considered.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with period appeal and solid bones; it will particularly suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out refurbishment to create a contemporary city-centre home or a rental asset.
