2 bedroom flat

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, this Victorian third floor, two bedroom apartment constitutes part of a B listed building, just seconds from the Royal Mile.

The property would be an ideal investment for either the short or long-term rental markets.
On the long-term rental market, the property would likely fetch between £1350 & £1450 PCM if well furnished (higher if modernised).
On the short-term rental market, we have been advised by a reputable short-term let specialist that the property could gross in the region of £65k a year if the property were modernised (new kitchen/bathroom/décor), minus management/cleaning/advertising costs. We are happy to provide seasonal estimates if requested.

The property is accessed via a communal stair with lift to the third floor, and is comprised of: Spacious dining sitting room with dual aspect windows and enough space for freestanding living and dining furniture. The kitchen sits off the living area and is well equipped with ample floor and wall mounted storage, tiled splashback and integrated and freestanding appliances. Both bedrooms are of a similar size and benefit from integrated storage cupboards and a lot of room for bedroom furniture. Finally, a bathroom, with three-piece suite and a shower over the bath, completes the property.

The apartment has the additional benefit of an electric heating system, a secure entry system, and on street permit parking.

Edinburgh’s picturesque Old Town is a conservation area situated right at the heart of the city centre, benefiting from the varying and vibrant activities of the Royal Mile as well as being the very epicentre of the famous Edinburgh Fringe festival. Located adjacent to Hunter square, Blair Street is ideally placed for an infinite choice of restaurants, bars, bakeries, specialist shops and tourist attractions. Furthermore, the property is strategically positioned for many of the cultural attractions of Edinburgh’s city centre that include: St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Museum of Scotland, and the National Library. To the immediate South of the property, Edinburgh’s Cowgate offers the very best of the city’s nightlife, whereas a short journey North leads you to Princes Street, Multrees Walk and the leafy Princess Street Gardens. There are a variety of bus routes that reach almost every part of Edinburgh and Waverley railway station is less than a quarter of a mile distant.
