Edinburgh property: Inside eye-watering £300k one-bedroom flat with 'desk-bed'

Everybody knows that if you want to buy a flat in the centre of Edinburgh, you need to be willing to pay - a lot - for the luxury of living in the heart of the city.

One recently listed property sums this up better than any other, with a "prestigious" location in Edinburgh's New Town but an eye-watering price tag.

The one-bedroom flat, which has a total floor area of 61m², is on Frederick Street - just a few minutes walk away from Princes Street - but the seller is only accepting offers over £300,000.

Looking inside the property, the primary room is a spacious open-plan living room-slash-kitchen that triples up as a dining area.

The living and kitchen areas of the bright and airy room are zoned off by a large island counter, while a dining table sits between them.

Although the property only has one bedroom, a second bed can be seen in the living room and kitchen space - though it is in an unusual place.

The bed, which appears in the corner of the room, can fold up against the wall and doubles up as a desk.

This means the multi-purpose room can also be used both as a study and a guest bedroom.

The flat's modern and sleek bathroom comes with both a spacious bath and a separate shower, that sit over a stunning tiled floor.

Inside the main bedroom, a grey fitted carpet can be seen, as well as wooden shutters which frame another large window - which looks out onto the street below.

For those looking for some green space, the listing states that "keys can be purchased for Queen Street Gardens offering lovely outdoor space in the heart of the city."
