Affordable two-bed flat in Edinburgh seaside suburb could be perfect DIY project

A two bed flat that would be an ideal project for anyone looking to fix up a property has hit the market in the friendly community of Portobello.

With a slightly dated interior, and rather garish carpets, the £170,000 Portobello flat that is located on the top floor of a tenement property would make an ideal home for a family or young professionals.

The rooms are very spacious and have a lot of natural light flooding through the many windows in the property.

There is a quirky breakfast bar within a kitchen that comes with ample worktop space and room for all your modern appliances.

The living room, which currently sports a 1970’s vibe, would be ideal for entertaining and can fit a large sofa and potentially a dining table within it.


Pastel colours are a theme throughout the property and the bathroom is perhaps the pièce de résistance with its striking red toilet, bath and sink catching the eye.

The property also sits atop a dog and cat grooming business which would be ideal for any pet owners - there is also a Greek patisserie on the ground floor for the mornings where you have no time to cook up a breakfast.

The breakfast bar is very quirky. (Coulters.)


Advertising on RightMove, estate agents Coulters describe the property as: “Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s desirable Portobello, this top floor two-bedroom traditional tenement property will make an ideal home.
