This property at 26 Windsor Street, Hillside, Edinburgh, EH7 5JR, is a large townhouse with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms. The location in Hillside, Edinburgh, places it in an area known for its stately architecture and proximity to Leith Walk, which provides access to various amenities. The property seems to maintain many of its original period features which adds to its character. The internal photographs reveal well-maintained living spaces. However, the furnishings appear basic. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from a modern update. A notable point to note is the lack of a substantial garden; photos show a shared courtyard. The list price of £1,100,000 needs further scrutiny. While the number of rooms is considerable, and could lend itself to a number of alternative uses including a HMO, the lack of readily available comparable properties in the surrounding areas, and the absence of specific details regarding the property’s condition (e.g., a recent survey), make an accurate valuation impossible without further investigation. Nearby street average prices show a significant gap, but these are averages for the street and different property types. The overall feel of the property is that it would be a large and impressive home. The property shows signs of being well cared for but could benefit from some modernization to meet contemporary standards. The lack of external garden space might deter some buyers, but the location, size and potential uses make the property potentially very attractive.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
