This compact two-bedroom second-floor flat in Slateford offers a practical, well-presented home with attractive distant views to the Pentland Hills. The living/dining room and kitchen enjoy large windows and natural light, while the two bedrooms include fitted wardrobes — a sensible layout for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical features include double glazing, storage heating and a secure entry system. Communal grounds are well kept and there is a residents’ parking space with visitor permit; a small monthly stair fund of about £15 covers cleaning and grass cutting. Service charge is modest at £180 (below average) and the property is freehold.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approx. 475 sq ft) and has storage heating rather than central heating, which may affect running costs and future refurbishment plans. The surrounding area is described as deprived in parts, though it benefits from excellent local shops, frequent bus routes, and good links to Haymarket and nearby universities — making it appealing to students, commuters and investors.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance apartment with clear rental and first-home potential, but limited internal space and some ongoing heating/upgrade considerations.
