Summary - 7/5, ALVANLEY TERRACE, EDINBURGH EH9 1DU
4 bed 1 bath Flat
Large 4-bed freehold flat with HMO history near The Meadows and universities.
Top-floor Victorian tenement with high ceilings and bay windows
Set on the top floor of a handsome Victorian tenement in sought-after Bruntsfield, this spacious 4-bedroom flat combines period character with proven rental potential. Tall bay windows and high ceilings flood the principal rooms with light, while original cornicing and fireplaces add authentic charm. At approximately 1,464 sq ft, the layout suits sharers or a family and has a history of HMO use.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, communal rear garden access and HMO compliance, making the property immediately attractive to investors or landlords targeting students and young professionals. The location is a major draw — Bruntsfield Links, The Meadows and multiple universities are within easy reach, along with cafés, shops and strong public transport links.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: there is a single bathroom (three-piece suite) plus a separate WC for four double bedrooms, and council tax is described as expensive. The local area is marked as deprived in the supplied data, which may affect some buyer assessments. Some listing images have been digitally enhanced — viewings are recommended to confirm condition and proportions.
Overall, this freehold period flat offers substantial size, period appeal and clear rental credentials in a top central-Edinburgh neighbourhood, but purchasers should consider the bathroom provision and local area profile when assessing long-term use or resale.
