Private enclosed rear garden — uncommon for flats

On-street parking only; limited private spaces
Small overall internal size (approx 568 sq ft)
Area has higher deprivation — consider resale/letting risk
Set on the first floor in the Drylaw area, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact, practical layout and private rear garden — rare for flats at this price. The building is a mid-20th-century block with pebble-dash exterior and double glazing throughout. Gas central heating and good broadband and mobile signal support comfortable day-to-day living.
Accommodation includes a generous living room, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with shower over bath. The flat is freehold and council tax is low, which helps reduce running costs for a first-time buyer or a landlord seeking straightforward rental income.
The property needs modernisation: kitchen and bathroom would benefit from upgrading and cosmetic works are required throughout. On-street parking is available but limited, and the immediate area is classified as more deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and lettability in some segments.
Overall this is a budget-friendly entry into Edinburgh’s market with scope to add value through renovation. The private rear garden and communal drying green are useful extras for outdoor living and clothes drying, while the location close to local amenities and transport links suits everyday needs.
