This ground-floor two-bedroom flat sits in a modern development on Ferry Gait Crescent and offers a straightforward, move-in-ready layout for first-time buyers. The open-plan kitchen with peninsula and a bright front reception room make the apartment feel larger than its 750 sq ft. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while a second double bedroom and main bathroom provide practical family or sharer living.
Practical running costs include gas central heating, double glazing and an overall below-average service charge (approx. £720 pa / £60 pcm) that covers communal grounds and buildings insurance. There are well-kept shared gardens and residential parking adjacent to the building, and broadband and mobile signals are strong—useful for home working.
Buyers should note the local context: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which can affect long-term resale values and local services. Parking is unallocated residential parking rather than a private, guaranteed space. The flat is freehold and flood risk is low, making it straightforward from a tenure and insurance viewpoint.
Overall this property is a practical, affordable entry-point to the Edinburgh market for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance home with modern fittings. The closing date is Thursday 2nd October at 12 noon, so viewers should act promptly if interested.
