Summary - 28/1, MOAT STREET, EDINBURGH EH14 1PJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Efficient layout with communal garden and strong broadband for modern city living.
Compact 1-bed first-floor flat, ~462 sq ft
Bright first-floor flat in a traditional sandstone tenement, ideal for a first-time buyer or young professional. The open-plan kitchen/living space gives flexible living and a rear study nook suited to home-working. The double bedroom retains original timber floors and a built-in double wardrobe, reducing immediate storage needs. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, supporting streaming and remote working.
Practical positives include a modern tiled bathroom with integrated bath/shower, access to a well-maintained communal garden and a compact footprint that keeps running costs lower than larger homes. At about 462 sq ft, the layout is efficient and straightforward to maintain.
Notable considerations: the building is an older Victorian tenement and external maintenance may be required in future. Some windows are single-glazed and there is potential for damp in corner areas, which may need investigation or improvement. The local area scores as very deprived, which affects resale and surrounding amenities despite nearby transport and shops.
Offered at £160,000, this flat is a practical entry-level purchase with scope for modest cosmetic improvements to maximise comfort and value. Buyers should factor in potential repair and window-upgrade costs when budgeting.
