Set within a handsome blonde sandstone tenement in Marchmont, this second-floor two-bedroom flat blends period character with practical space. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and original cornicing give the main rooms a bright, airy feel while the layout provides a generous 789 sq ft of living space—larger than many two-bed city flats.
The location is a central draw: a short walk to the Meadows, an array of cafés, bars and shops, and excellent bus connections to the city centre make this ideal for first-time buyers or commuter professionals. The communal rear garden offers a quiet outdoor space, while on-street permit/pay parking and fast broadband add everyday convenience.
Mechanicals are straightforward with gas central heating. The sale includes fitted carpets, curtains and key appliances (oven, hob, hood, fridge-freezer, washing machine), all sold as seen with no warranty. Freehold tenure is an advantage for long-term ownership and future planning.
Notable considerations: the flat is on the second floor with stair access only (no lift), and there is a single shower room. The neighbourhood is lively and popular with students and commuters, which can mean occasional noise. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term resale in parts of the district. Prospective buyers should factor maintenance and potential modernisation into their plans.
