Charming One-Bedroom Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile

A beautifully presented and fully furnished one-bedroom flat in an exceptional Old Town location, right on Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile and beside St Giles' Cathedral.

Set on the first floor of an attractive period building, the property offers a rare opportunity to live in the very heart of Edinburgh's historic centre, within easy walking distance of Princes Street, Waverley Station, the University of Edinburgh and the city's main business, shopping and cultural districts.

The flat is compact but very well designed, with a comfortable open-plan living and kitchen area, a separate cosy bedroom, excellent built-in storage and a modern shower room. It would be particularly well suited to a single professional, postgraduate student or couple looking for a stylish and exceptionally central Edinburgh home.

Living & Kitchen Area

The bright open-plan living space is comfortably furnished with two sofas, a flat-screen TV and plenty of built-in cupboard and wardrobe storage.

One of the sofas converts into a sofa bed, providing a convenient additional sleeping space for occasional guests.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped for everyday living and includes:

  • Full-height fridge

  • Electric hob and oven

  • Dishwasher

  • Washing machine

  • Good cupboard and worktop space

  • Crockery, cutlery and essential kitchen equipment

Fast Wi-Fi is also available in the property.

Bedroom

The cosy bedroom is situated just off the kitchen/living area and is furnished with a small double bed (120 cm wide).

The room is compact and works particularly well for a single occupant, although it can accommodate a couple. Additional wardrobe and storage space is provided in the built-in cupboards in the living area.

Bathroom

The modern bathroom includes a walk-in shower, WC and washbasin.

Exceptional Old Town Location

It is difficult to find a more central Edinburgh location. The flat sits directly on the Royal Mile beside St Giles' Cathedral, with the Old Town quite literally on the doorstep.

Waverley Station, Princes Street, George IV Bridge and the University of Edinburgh are all within easy walking distance, while an enormous choice of cafés, restaurants, shops, pubs and cultural attractions surrounds the property.

Despite its exceptionally central position, the flat itself provides a comfortable and cosy retreat from the bustle of the city.

The property is on the first floor, accessed by approximately one and a half flights of stairs.
