Bright, well-presented one-bedroom flat in a handsome Victorian stone tenement on Comely Bank Place. High ceilings, large twin-windowed living room with original fireplace and cornice details give a strong sense of space; a generous dining kitchen with shaker-style units and solid wood worktops suits everyday living and entertaining. The flat extends to about 552 sq ft and benefits from two hall storage cupboards, a secure entry system, and access to a secluded shared garden.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, nearby EV charging points, and plentiful zoned on-street parking. The location sits between Stockbridge and New Town, within easy walking distance of independent shops, cafés, supermarket convenience and green spaces such as Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden — ideal for commuters and first-time buyers seeking city living with local amenities.
Notable considerations are upfront and factual: the flat is on an upper floor served by communal stairs (no lift), parking is on-street rather than private, and the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area which can mean higher footfall and occasional noise. Council tax is moderate and the property sits in an area identified with higher deprivation metrics, which may affect certain resale dynamics. The bathroom is compact and the flat, while well presented, offers scope for cosmetic updates according to personal taste.
Overall this property will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful, move-in-ready city flat with period features and good transport and local amenities. It also represents a straightforward purchase for those prioritising freehold tenure and a central location, provided they accept the upper-floor access and on-street parking arrangement.
