Spacious two-bed ground-floor flat with high ceilings in the heart of Old Town.
Prime Old Town Merchant Street location, minutes from Royal Mile
Set on Merchant Street in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat pairs classic Georgian character with practical city-centre living. High ceilings, large windows and a bright, generous living room give the apartment an airy feel uncommon at this price and location.
The layout is versatile: a separate kitchen with white goods included, two double bedrooms at the rear for quieter sleeping, and a neat bathroom with a walk-in shower. At around 733 sq ft and sold freehold, the property suits first-time buyers seeking period features and commuters or investors looking for centrally located stock.
Location is a major draw — minutes from the Grassmarket, the Royal Mile and local cafés, shops and public transport. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and digital lifestyle needs. There is no recorded flood risk.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the area is classified as very deprived, council tax is above average, and the flat has a single bathroom. These factors, together with the traditional tenement layout, should be considered when budgeting and planning occupation or rental use.
