Edinburgh property: Two-bed flat in former school with views of Salisbury Crags

Imagine waking up each morning, sticking the kettle on and gazing out the window of your flat to see the breathtaking Crags in all their glory.

Well that fantasy could well become your reality for the cost of £265,000 as a two-bed Newington flat has hit the market on the boundary of Holyrood Park.

The home is located in a B-listed converted former school building and comes with two reasonably sized bedrooms, a living room, small kitchen and bathroom.

The flat is well lit and the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen appear to come with a rustic wooden floor.

Each window offers a glimpse out into the beautiful iconic Holyrood Park with several angles of the Crags and Arthur’s Seat.

There is a modern finish throughout with an opportunity to fix up the slightly dated bathroom.

Deans Properties, who are advertising the property on ESPC, describe it as: “Forming part of a B listed building, this charming ground floor flat is located in the popular district of Newington, in the South of Edinburgh.

“A short distance from the city centre, the location offers a great selection of local shops and amenities and is conveniently located for many University of Edinburgh buildings.

You can have a cuppa whilst overlooking the Crags. (Deans Properties.)

“There are plenty of greenspaces nearby, with Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat on the doorstep and The Meadows within easy reach.

“There are excellent public transport links and road connections to the City Bypass and Motorway Networks.

“The property forms part of a converted school and sits within landscaped communal grounds.

The living area is spacious and has an amazing view. (Deans Properties.)

“The freshly decorated accommodation is in move-in condition and comprises; bright living room/dining room with striking views to the Salisbury Crags, separate kitchen, two bedrooms with spectacular views across Edinburgh, bathroom with shower over bath and large store cupboard.
