Bright period flat near Meadowbank — ideal first-time buy or easy let.
Large double bedroom with high ceilings and bay window
Set on a main street in Abbeyhill, this two-bedroom flat offers an accessible city-base for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The flat feels bright and spacious in the living and kitchen/dining areas, benefitting from period features such as high ceilings, a bay window and a feature fireplace that add character and strong natural light.
Practical fittings include gas central heating, a modern shower room and a secure entry system. A communal rear garden gives outdoor space for residents, and on-street parking keeps costs down. The property is sold freehold and lies close to frequent bus links, Meadowbank retail and the St James Quarter, making it easy to reach the city centre and local amenities.
There are some material negatives to note: the flat faces a busy street with views over commercial properties, and parts of the property show wear and may benefit from updating. Documentation references both double glazing and single-glazed period windows, so confirm window specification when viewing. On-street parking only and a communal garden mean no private outdoor space or off-street parking.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with period charm and clear potential to personalise. It will suit someone seeking a central, affordable entry into Edinburgh’s market or an investor after a straightforward tenancy opportunity.
