Inside needs some upgrading (ESPC)

"This spacious ground floor flat (80 sqm) is quietly located beside Portobello’s award-winning sandy beach and the classic Victorian promenade. Rooms have a good ceiling height and the ornate cornicing, an original marble fireplace and solid panelled doors have been retained ensuring timeless character.

"The flat could easily be transformed into a charming home by cosmetic modernisation and is equally suitable a good letting/investment opportunity given rentals in this popular coastal area are in high demand. There is an elegant sitting room, large dining room/kitchen, bathroom with a window and a choice of two double bedrooms.
