Summary - 59/8, ROSE STREET, EDINBURGH EH2 2NH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom city base ideal for commuters or first-time buyers.
Category B listed Georgian building, central Rose Street location
Set on Rose Street in Edinburgh’s New Town, this one-bedroom fourth-floor flat occupies a Category B listed Georgian building and offers classic period charm with practical city living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is bright with twin windows and a handy breakfast bar, while the double bedroom provides flexible space for freestanding furniture. At about 518 sq ft, the layout suits a single professional or first-time buyer seeking central convenience and strong rental potential.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some upgrades. Heating is via a shared gas boiler and the windows are single glazed, so there may be higher running costs and limited scope for thermal improvements. The flat sits on the fourth floor and is reached by stairs, which may affect accessibility.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, secure entry, permit/metered on-street parking nearby, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and students. The location places you steps from restaurants, theatres, shops and frequent public transport, offering an exceptionally central lifestyle.
Overall, this apartment delivers a bright, characterful city base with immediate convenience and rental appeal, but it requires prospective buyers to accept listed-building constraints and some basic energy and heating limitations.
