Fixer upper Edinburgh time warp home hits market with beige floral wallpaper

An Edinburgh time warp property has hit the market offering a glimpse into past interior decor.

The two-bedroom upper villa located in Lochend could be a fantastic renovation opportunity.

From the exterior the property doesn’t look like much just a standard stereotypical Edinburgh home but from inside it’s a time capsule treasure trove of funky dated wallpaper and features.

The living room is plastered with busy beige floral wallpaper that looks like it was applied when Jim Morrison was still alive.

Leading through to the kitchen which is painted a bright and loud B&Q orange and has a small window looking out to the back garden.

One bedroom is decorated with beige and brown tonal geometric style patterns and features a large built in wardrobe.

The other bedroom is slightly smaller and has a quieter wallpaper that is probably the most modern of them all but keeps with the beige theme.

While the hallway sports a William Morris style brown floral wallpaper, with so many patterns throughout the property it’s hard to tell if they clash or oddly complement the interior design on a whole.

The two-bedroom flat is in desperate need of some TLC and a full renovation to bring it back to its former glory.

The fixer upper also has a large lush green garden located at the back of the property.

Located in the heart of Lochend with the right care and attention the property could become a stunning city centre home.

Just a twenty minute walk from Arthurs Seat, Meadowbank and a short distance from the city centre the flat is in an ideal location.

Mov8 who are marketing the property describe it as: “Well proportioned and south-facing, two-bedroom, main door, traditional upper villa.

“The property is located in the popular Lochend area, east of Edinburgh city centre.”

The Edinburgh time warp property has hit the market for offers over £120,000.
