Cosy en-suite room–heart of Stockbridge | £

A cosy furnished room with its own private en-suite is becoming available in a friendly, queer-friendly flat right in the heart of Stockbridge from around 14 July, potentially a little sooner.

The location is the real star here. The flat is on Deanhaugh Street, moments from Stockbridge’s cafés, pubs, restaurants, independent shops and weekend market, while the New Town and city centre are within easy walking distance.

The bedroom is compact, but very functional, with a surprising amount of storage, including a wardrobe, drawers and overhead cupboards. Best of all, you have your own private en-suite with a shower, so there is no waiting around for the bathroom in the morning.

The shared living and dining room is bright, comfortable and full of natural light. It is a lovely space for having dinner, watching something or simply collapsing after work. The galley kitchen is genuinely tiny, so this is definitely more charming city-centre flat than sprawling luxury kitchen. It has all the essentials, including an oven, hob and washing machine, but enthusiastic dinner-party chefs may need to get creative.

You would be living with my friend and coworker Bingling, who works at Harvey Nichols Edinburgh. He is genuinely lovely, considerate, tidy and very easy to share a home with. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming and queer-friendly, with plenty of respect for each other’s space.

The practical bits:

£670 per month
Approximately £75 per month council tax
Private en-suite shower room
Furnished bedroom
Plenty of storage
Bright shared living and dining room
Very compact galley kitchen
Brilliant central Stockbridge location
Available around 14 July, possibly slightly sooner
Subject to landlord approval and the usual tenancy arrangements

This would be a great fit for someone who wants a friendly home, their own bathroom and one of the best locations in Edinburgh, and who is happy living somewhere cosy rather than enormous.

Please message with a little bit about yourself, what you do and your ideal move-in date if you would like to arrange a viewing.
