This bright two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers practical, move-in-ready living in the popular Willowbrae area, a short distance from Edinburgh city amenities. The sitting room’s twin windows face the communal garden, bringing good natural light into a modern, neutral interior. Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in wardrobes; one has an ensuite shower room. The separate kitchen/dining room includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, making daily living straightforward.
Externally the development is well maintained and includes landscaped communal grounds and private residents’ parking (unallocated). The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Monthly factoring is approximately £120 (c. £1,440 pa) and covers common buildings insurance; the development is managed by Taylor & Martin.
Practical points are clear: council tax is above average and the wider area scores as relatively deprived, which may affect resale timing in some markets. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. The flat requires minimal immediate refurbishment but offers scope for modest modernisation to increase value.
Overall, this flat will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-fuss, well-positioned home close to transport, schools and local amenities. It also presents straightforward buy-to-let potential given its layout and ground-floor access, but buyers should factor in service charges, council tax and local area dynamics when assessing long-term returns.
