Edinburgh flat frozen in time with retro decor hits market for £340k

A funky two-bed flat with decor from decades ago has hit the market – complete with mustard yellow walls and brown carpets.

The apartment, in the vibrant area of Polwarth, Edinburgh, is being advertised for offers over £340,000, reports Edinburgh Live. Estate agents Aberdein Considine say the dwelling will "only be fully appreciated upon internal viewing" with "striking" traditional features such as ceiling cornicing.

Looking at photographs on the listing is like stepping into a portal back in time: the living room boasts floral curtains and bold yellow walls, while the kitchen features glossy wooden worktops and avocado-green paint. One bedroom even features an ornate grandfather clock and a bricked-up fireplace.

A box room is currently home to a clothes rail and a retro-looking dresser and wardrobe, along with some patterned wallpaper. Despite the largely antiquated decor, the flat comes with a modern-looking power shower.

And for those weighing up whether to invest, it will come in ready-to-live condition. White goods including a cooker, washing machine, fridge/freezer and tumble dryer will remain with the property once sold.
