Set within a handsome sandstone tenement on Morningside Drive, this first-floor two-bedroom flat highlights original Victorian charm with high corniced ceilings, bay windows and an open, light-filled living room. The layout includes a large dining kitchen with appliances and a practical larder cupboard, giving everyday convenience alongside period character.
The property is sold freehold, accessed via a secure entry-phone and well-maintained communal stair, and benefits from gas central heating and access to a shared rear garden. At around 839 sq ft, rooms feel well-proportioned for a two-bedroom flat, making it suitable for owner-occupiers seeking character or investors targeting the local student and professional rental market.
Practical points are straightforward: there is a single bathroom and communal garden rather than private outdoor space, and the property sits in an area described as deprived which may affect resale prospects and tenant demand. Energy performance is C and council tax sits at band D (moderate). Some buyers may want cosmetic updating to personalise finishes or maximise rental yield.
Overall, this flat offers a rare combination of period features, generous room sizes and a central Morningside position with excellent transport and local amenities. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting character close to city facilities and to investors seeking a well-located let with refurbishment potential.
