This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Dalry offers an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s rental and homeownership market. Set in a traditional sandstone tenement, the apartment benefits from tall windows and original cornicing that give the main living space good natural light and period character.
The layout includes a bright lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, generous double bedroom with built-in storage, and a bathroom with shower over bath. Residents share a well-kept communal garden and there is ample on-street permit and metered parking nearby. The property is freehold and measures about 535 sq ft, making it a practical size for a single buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Buyers should note this flat has electric heating and a mixture of double and triple glazing, so heating costs and insulation performance may be higher than modern systems. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived — which supports strong rental demand from students and commuters but may influence long-term resale values and local services.
A straightforward refurbishment could add value by upgrading heating and finishes. The sale is subject to a closing date of Tuesday 30th Sept at 12 noon, so interested parties should act promptly.
