Summary - FLAT 10, 65, HOLYROOD ROAD EH8 8AU
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Central two-bed flat with parking and panoramic city views, ready to occupy.
Two double bedrooms, principal with en-suite shower room
Set within the Old Town Conservation Area, this newly redecorated two-bedroom flat combines central convenience with striking views over Salisbury Crags. The open-plan living room and breakfasting kitchen make efficient use of the 71.9 m2 layout, while a principal en-suite and a second bathroom suit sharers or a small family. Recent redecoration and new carpets mean the property is ready to occupy or let with minimal immediate work.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing, gas central heating and a secure entry system. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal excellent—useful for commuters and students. The apartment sits moments from the Scottish Parliament, the university and Holyrood Park, giving both leisure and commuting advantages.
There are some important factual drawbacks to note. The area scores as very deprived, which can affect tenant profiles and resale dynamics. Service charges run at approximately £125 pcm (£1,500 annually) covering building insurance, communal cleaning and maintenance, and council tax is described as expensive. EPC rating C and on-street pay-and-display parking nearby are further practical details to consider.
Priced at £280,000 — reportedly £10,000 below the home report valuation — the flat may appeal to investors seeking central lets or buyers who prioritise location, views and low immediate refurbishment needs. Those seeking quieter suburban neighbourhoods or low ongoing charges should weigh the service charge and local area profile before proceeding.
