Property highlight: A rarely available one bedroom city pad in Edinburgh’s historic heart

A rarely available city pad in Edinburgh’s historic heart Nestled within a handsome stone tenement dating from circa 1750, this characterful one-bedroom flat occupies a prime position on the iconic Royal Mile—Edinburgh’s most famous and atmospheric street. Just moments from St Giles’ Cathedral, the Castle, and the Scottish Parliament, this second-floor home blends period charm with practical modern living. Inside, you'll find a bright open-plan living space with kitchen and dining area, a generous double bedroom tucked quietly to the rear, a shower room, and a large internal store. Traditional sash windows, high ceilings, and gas central heating all add to its appeal. Well-maintained and move-in ready, the property offers excellent potential as a buy-to-let investment, a central pied-à-terre, or a first-time city home. With rich history on your doorstep and Waverley Station a short stroll away, this is Edinburgh at its most iconic.
