Summary - 28, WESTER BROOM DRIVE, EDINBURGH EH12 7RF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-detached Villa
South-facing principal room, garage and private garden with clear upgrade potential.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached villa, 712 sqft practical layout
This two-bedroom semi-detached villa in Corstorphine offers a compact, practical blank canvas for a first-time buyer or investor. The house sits on a modest plot with a lawned front, a private rear garden and an extensive driveway leading to a timber garage — useful for parking and storage. Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance porch, hallway with storage, dual-aspect reception room with a focal fireplace, a kitchen with garden access, two double bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The principal bedroom faces south and brings good natural light.
The property retains many original mid‑20th century features and has been well preserved but requires renovation to bring it up to modern standards. Notable issues to consider are the need for general updating throughout, concrete external walls typical of the era, and some potential roof maintenance. The EPC is D and council tax band is moderate (Band D), which should factor into running-cost planning.
For buyers looking to add value, straightforward cosmetic refurbishment of the kitchen, bathroom and living areas will offer clear uplift. The garage and generous driveway give practical parking and storage options in a suburban location close to local amenities and transport links. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal average. The wider immediate area is ageing and shows some deprivation, which is relevant for future resale expectations.
This property is best suited to first-time buyers able to carry out or fund a programme of updating, or investors targeting refurbishment projects for rental or resale. The combination of freehold tenure, private garden and parking provides a solid foundation for improvement and longer-term value growth.
