A one-bed studio apartment in need of some major modernisation has hit the market.

With a quirky layout, the studio flat in Portobello would make a good project for its new owner. It currently has exposed wooden floorboards and a dated interior with wooden paneling throughout the living room.

Situated on Portobello High Street, the flat is part of a traditional tenement and while it needs some major TLC, it does boast traditional features throughout. See below for images of the property.

For offers over £115,000, the kitchen and bathroom show signs of age. The kitchen is made up of a sink, fringe, two counters and two cabinets, with one door missing. As for the flooring, the laminate flooring can be seen coming away with one tile loose.

Meanwhile, the bathroom has a brown bath and sink with bright yellow and green walls.The doors throughout the property need some attention as the paint is chipped.

The bedroom is a generous size with plenty of room for a double bed and wardrobes, and the new owners would be able to fit more furniture, such as a desk, within.

The new owners will also benefit from living close by Portobello’s centre as well as a shared communal garden.

The advert from McQueen Legal adds: “An excellent first time buy or an investment opportunity this one bedroom first floor flat is now in need of some modernisation offering bright and spacious accommodation. The property forms part of a traditional tenement building with secure entry and a shared garden to the rear. The property is conveniently located in the heart of the thriving and vibrant area of Portobello located to the east of the city centre. The High Street has a varied range of services with shops such as Sainsbury’s Local, Aldi, Scotmid as well as bars and eateries.

“Within easy reach, there is an Asda Superstore and a wide selection of shopping at Fort Kinnaird Retail Park. An early viewing is recommended.”
