This compact first-floor tenement flat on Balcarres Street offers a bright, characterful one-bedroom home in a sought-after south Edinburgh pocket. High ceilings, period cornicing and a good front-aspect window create a spacious feel despite the modest footprint, and the property is presented in move-in condition after recent renovation.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor, the flat sits within easy reach of local shops, cafes and public transport links. The building is freehold, has a secure entry system and benefits from a communal garden to the rear. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and council tax costs are low.
Practical points to note: accommodation is small (c. 406 sq ft) and on-street parking is the only parking option. The wider area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher deprivation metrics—this supports rental demand but may not suit buyers seeking a quiet suburban setting. The flat’s period charm will appeal to those who want character; buyers wanting a fully modern layout could reconfigure the space with cosmetic updates.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located one-bedroom for someone seeking an affordable entry into Morningside/nearby south Edinburgh or an investor after steady rental prospects. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions and period features in person.
