Bright duplex apartment in a converted printworks, arranged over two floors with 1,238 sq ft of flexible living space. The open-plan sitting room and kitchen provide an airy social hub with high ceilings and large windows, while a separate living area easily doubles as a home office. The generous master bedroom benefits from a Jack & Jill en suite; two further double bedrooms suit flatmates or a family.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and a secure entryphone system. A modest service charge (£600 per year, paid twice yearly via the residents association) covers communal maintenance. Several fitted appliances and floor coverings are included in the sale.
Be clear about drawbacks: there is no private outdoor space, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as expensive. The property sits within a lively, student- and commuter-focused neighbourhood that offers exceptional local amenities and transport links but can feel busy and is classified as a very deprived area.
This duplex will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful city base close to the University of Edinburgh and city amenities, buyers willing to accept communal living and slower broadband, and purchasers looking for central location and rental potential rather than garden space or tranquil suburbia.
