Set on a quiet residential crescent, this two-bedroom lower villa offers a practical, freehold starter home with genuine scope to add value. The property benefits from off-street parking, a private front garden and an enclosed rear patio with a shed — useful outdoor space in a compact urban plot.
Internally the layout is straightforward: two main bedrooms at the front, a sitting room to the rear with an adjoining kitchen, a shower room off the hall and a useful store cupboard. There is additional usable space in the top-floor dormer, and the flat has double glazing and gas central heating.
The flat requires cosmetic upgrading throughout — kitchen, bathroom and general decor will need attention — but that presents an opportunity for a buyer to modernise and personalise the home. EPC band C and affordable council tax are practical benefits for a first-time buyer or investor.
Important considerations: the immediate area scores as very deprived, and local residents are described as hard-pressed flat dwellers and migrant families, which may influence long-term resale or rental demand. Room sizes are average and the property is modest in scale at around 666 sq ft.
Overall, this freehold lower villa suits a purchaser prepared to carry out updating to unlock its potential: straightforward layout, parking and garden make it a functional, affordable entry to the Edinburgh market.
