Inside Edinburgh bargain fixer upper flat in one of city's most expensive areas

A two-bedroom apartment offering prospective owners the chance to put their stamp on one of Edinburgh’s most exclusive areas has gone on the market.

The ground floor flat on Roseneath Terrace is located a stone’s throw from the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links in the highly sought-after Marchmont area.

Inside, the dilapidated property is in need of a complete refit, with almost no carpets and living and kitchen units hanging off the walls.

The average property price in the area stands at more than £322,000, with one nearby two-bedroom on the same street selling for a whopping £390,000 in July this year.

However, this fixer-upper is listed for offers over £225,000 - reflecting the interior condition.

It also comes with a private rear garden full of greenery and an off-street front patio alongside communal parking.

The listing on property website RightMove states: "Marchmont is a sought-after area, well-placed for access to universities, hospitals, excellent schooling and local amenities including extensive shopping in the vicinity.

"Forming part of a period stone-built terrace, an entrance hallway gives access to both bedrooms, the bathroom and the living room, and features a built-in storage cupboard also housing the consumer units.

"Rear-facing, is a good-sized living room, offering ample space for lounge and dining furniture, and featuring a patio door to the private garden.

"Both bedrooms are set towards the front, offering good privacy as the property is set well back from the road and slightly below street level. Set internally is the bathroom, with ample space for a full suite and a separate integrated shower cubicle."
