Summary - 4/9, COWGATEHEAD, EDINBURGH EH1 1JU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern one‑bed near Grassmarket and major city attractions.
South‑facing top‑floor flat with leafy Greyfriars views
Set on the fifth (top) floor of a traditional stone tenement in Edinburgh’s Old Town, this one‑bedroom flat offers a compact, south‑facing living space with leafy views over Greyfriars grounds. The open‑plan reception and modern kitchen create a bright, efficient footprint suited to city living and short‑let demand.
The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating, tasteful contemporary finishes, built‑in bedroom storage and access to a tranquil communal courtyard. Controlled on‑street parking (Zone 4) and excellent mobile signal add convenience for professionals and renters.
Buyers should note the flat is reached by communal stairs (no lift) and has only partial double glazing. Broadband speeds described as very slow may affect remote working or streaming without upgrade. The wider Old Town is a busy, student‑and‑tourist area with higher local deprivation metrics, so expect lively surroundings and seasonal footfall during festival periods.
For investors or city professionals seeking a central, characterful pied‑à‑terre or rental asset, this flat combines an unbeatable Old Town address with straightforward maintenance and improvement potential (double glazing, broadband upgrade). Its compact, efficient layout suits single occupants or couples and performs well for short‑term or longer lets given the location.
