Edinburgh property: Fixer-upper New Town flat with private gardens hits the market

An Edinburgh flat in one of the city's most sought after neighbourhoods has hit the market - but it's in need of a serious renovation.

The two-bedroom property is in a dream location for those that love city life, tucked away on the second floor of Drummond Place.

Coming complete with a key to the iconic private gardens in the middle of the New Town crescent, the flat also boasts some incredible views over the city centre.

From the street, the A-listed Georgian building looks incredible, with most features kept intact from the original construction.

However, despite being on the market for offers over £455,000, the property is definitely not in a move-in condition, with the flat requiring some serious work.

Described as giving the new owners "creative freedom" to put their mark on the home, the flat has been stripped back to the bones, with no flooring and an extremely minimal kitchen.

In need of a cash injection, the walls will also need some TLC, with the wallpaper hanging on for dear life.

However, once renovated, the property is set to be an absolute gem, with the site expected to be snapped up quickly.

Speaking about the flat, estate agent Thorntons said: "Set on the second/top floor of a beautiful, A-listed Georgian terrace in the exclusive New Town conservation area, this wonderfully light and airy two-bedroom flat offers an exciting opportunity for refurbishment, giving the new owner creative freedom to design a modern home to their own taste and requirements.

"The flat also benefits from access to Drummond Place Garden (subject to a fee) right on the doorstep, and has views over the gardens to the front and out to the Fife coast to the rear.

"The kitchen also enjoys classic generous proportions and offers ample space for a selection of modern cabinetry and appliances, as well as a seated dining area. A stove and built-in storage complete the room. At the opposite end of the hall, you will find two double bedrooms, both offering blank canvases for future styling and providing plenty of space for furniture.

"A spacious bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and could comfortably accommodate a three/four piece modern suite to suit the new owner's requirements. The flat benefits from a gas fire in the living room and an electric radiator in the bathroom."
