Large two-bedroom listed garden flat in Edinburgh’s New Town, close to transport and amenities.
Large garden flat with private front and rear gardens
Set within a listed Georgian tenement in Edinburgh’s New Town conservation area, this generous garden flat offers large rooms, high ceilings and private front and rear gardens—rare for a central location. The principal bedroom includes an en‑suite shower room; a second double bedroom and a separate shower room give comfortable flexibility for professionals or a small family. The south‑facing dining kitchen floods the apartment with daylight and connects well to outdoor space for urban gardening or dining.
Practical extras include substantial cellar storage (two private cellars plus access to a communal cellar), built‑in storage in the entrance hall and excellent digital connectivity (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal). The flat is freehold and occupies a single level, providing straightforward accessibility without stairs between living areas and gardens.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and conservation area location: alterations and some modernisation will be restricted and require listed‑building consent, which can complicate renovation plans. The exterior shows signs of moss/damp in places and the building will need ongoing maintenance typical of historic stone properties. Parking is on‑street (Zone 2 controlled) rather than private off‑street parking.
Positioned a short walk from Broughton Street, local cafés, shops and the tram and Waverley station, the flat suits commuters who value central convenience and character. Council tax is above average and the immediate area scores as very deprived by local indices—prospective buyers should consider local service provision alongside the many amenities nearby.
