Edinburgh fixer-upper flat hits the market in desirable area of the capital

A flat has popped up on the market in a desirable area of Edinburgh that would be the perfect project for any opportunistic buyers out there.

The one-bed flat is situated on McDonald Road in Bellevue and certainly looks as though it needs a lick of paint or two to bring it back to its former glory.

A main sitting room is cascaded by natural light through large bay windows and its ornate fireplace makes a fantastic centrepiece for any potential owners.

There is a small kitchen that requires a major upgrade and is rather tight for space in terms of a cooking room.

But the main bedroom boasts original woodwork and a lot of space including an original feature fire.

A reasonably spacious family bathroom that is also in need of a bit of TLC is found just off of the flat hall.

A further box room also offers an opportunity for any potential buyers to be able to turn the flat into a two-bed property so long as relevant planning permission is obtained.

Advertising the property on ESPC, Lindsays describes the property as: “Now requiring full refurbishment, this large one-bedroom flat provides an excellent opportunity for a discerning purchaser.

“The property comprises of a large bay windowed sitting room, with intricate cornice work and feature fire, along with original woodwork, a handy box room which can be accessed from either the sitting room or hallway, and has borrowed light, a kitchen dining room with pantry cupboard, an extremely spacious bedroom, which again has an original feature fire and a family bathroom.

“With renovation and thoughtful design, this flat has the potential to be transformed into a comfortable and stylish living space in its existing layout, however there is the potential to turn this into a two-bedroom property, subject to all relevant planning consents being obtained.”
