Area classified as very deprived — affects long-term resale/rental dynamics
Light, efficient and contemporary, this three-bedroom end-terrace sits on a modern Craigmillar development with clear views to the Pentlands and an energy-efficient specification including solar panels and an Energy Rating B. The ground floor offers a separate living room with patio doors to the rear garden, plus a fitted kitchen/dining area and a handy downstairs WC — a straightforward, low-maintenance layout for everyday family life or first-time buyers.
Upstairs provides three compact bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a family bathroom with heated towel rail. Built-in storage in the master and neutral finishes throughout mean the home is largely move-in ready. Gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/strong mobile signal support modern living and working from home.
Notable practical points: the property is freehold with a modest annual factor/estate fee of around £100 and a moderate council tax band. On-street parking only and limited visible off-street spaces; the front garden is small and the plot overall is compact. The listing refers to a large rear garden, but external images and floorplan indicate a small-to-average, low-maintenance rear garden — buyers should verify garden size in person.
Location is a mixed picture: well connected with local amenities and public transport, but statistically the wider area is classified as very deprived. That affects longer-term resale dynamics and local services. For a first-time buyer seeking a contemporary, economical starter home with scope to personalise, this is a practical, well-presented option. Investors should note the neighbourhood classification when modelling rental demand and yields.
