This recently refurbished two-bedroom third-floor flat sits in a traditional Georgian tenement in Lauriston, close to the city centre and university buildings. Fresh decoration and new carpeting make it move-in ready; the kitchen includes integrated oven and gas hob, and the property benefits from gas central heating and fast broadband — practical features for tenants or owner-occupiers.
The layout is straightforward: an L-shaped hall with built-in storage leads to a front living room with period cornice and Edinburgh press shelving, two double bedrooms (one front, one rear) and a bathroom with a bath and electric shower. Shared rear gardens provide outdoor space, and the zoning permit on-street parking serves local residents.
This flat suits investors and city commuters seeking reliable rental demand from students and professionals, given the proximity to universities, public transport links and central amenities. The freehold tenure and recent refurbishments reduce immediate maintenance needs and improve short-term rental appeal.
Drawbacks to note: the flat is on the third floor with stair access only, which may limit some buyers or tenants. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which can affect long-term resale or tenant mix. Parking is zoned on-street rather than private, and the bathroom uses an electric shower over the bath rather than a separate thermostatic shower.
Overall, this is a practical, city-centre two-bedroom flat offering period character and recent updates — a sensible purchase for investors or first-time buyers wanting a low-immediate-work property close to transport and university clusters.
