About
An exceptional investment opportunity to acquire a substantial double upper flat in the heart of Bruntsfield, offering strong rental yield and long-term income potential.
The property benefits from a five-bedroom HMO licence in place until 2027, making it immediately attractive to investors seeking a well-established, compliant asset in a high-demand rental location.
The property enjoys outstanding panoramic views towards Edinburgh Castle, Bruntsfield Links and Arthur’s Seat, creating a truly remarkable city backdrop.
The flat offers versatile living arrangements, with the main accommodation occupying the lower level and the upper floor comprising two separate self-contained suites, ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental use.
This unique configuration provides both privacy and independence while remaining seamlessly connected to the main residence.
