Recently upgraded shower room with waterproof panelling

Set within a handsome Victorian sandstone block in Newington, this two-bedroom flat (plus boxroom) blends period detail with modern convenience. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and original cornice work give strong character, while a fitted dining kitchen and recently upgraded shower room provide practical, move-in ready living. The property is freehold and benefits from a fully enclosed residents’ rear garden.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking well-proportioned rooms and easy access to city amenities. Natural light floods the bay sitting room where a wood-burning stove forms a cosy focal point. Two double bedrooms offer calm evening retreats and a compact boxroom is useful as a home office or study.
Practical points are straightforward: central heating is gas-fired, hot water included, and the block has a secure entry with a well-maintained communal stairwell. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — helpful for remote working and streaming. The dining kitchen has generous work surfaces and a mix of integrated and freestanding appliances for everyday use.
Be realistic about location and context: the wider area is classified as very deprived and the neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-oriented zone with high footfall and mixed residential/commercial activity. The property sits above communal stair access (no lift) and shares outdoor space with other residents. There is a single shower room, so families wanting multiple bathrooms should note this.
Overall this flat offers period charm and practical, low-maintenance living in a well-connected part of Edinburgh. It will particularly appeal to buyers wanting characterful accommodation close to city-centre transport links, amenities and local leisure options.
