Set on a quiet suburban terrace in Penicuik, this mid-20th-century two-bedroom villa offers a straightforward, low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. The property is freehold, gas centrally heated and double glazed, presented in neutral, market-ready condition with an EPC rating of C. The compact, manageable rear garden provides privacy, a shed and a raised seating area with elevated countryside views.
Practical day-to-day living is supported by fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus nearby amenities including shops, pubs, bus links and a Tesco. On-street parking is available and the house’s position is convenient for commuting into surrounding towns. The footprint and room sizes are average (approximately 637 sq ft), with a single principal reception room that receives good natural light from a large street-facing window.
Buyers should note the property sits within a very deprived local area classification, which may affect long-term resale considerations. The front garden is small and the overall plot is compact, so outdoor space is limited compared with larger suburban homes. The condition is tidy but largely standard—there’s clear scope for cosmetic updating to personalise interiors and add value. Council tax is low and there is no flooding risk.
Offered at £165,000, this house represents an accessible entry point to homeownership in Penicuik for those prioritising location, connectivity and a modest, low-upkeep garden. It suits a buyer seeking a practical, well-located starter home with straightforward improvement potential rather than a move-in ready luxury refurbishment.
