The top-floor bedroom benefits from a Velux window with elevated views across Edinburgh, providing a unique focal point and natural light. The open-plan kitchen/diner and separate living room make daily life and entertaining straightforward, while a utility room gives direct garden access for practical family use.
Practical advantages include an off-street driveway for one car, double-glazed windows, fast broadband and full 5G mobile coverage. The property is freehold and presented with contemporary finishes throughout, so immediate move-in is likely for many buyers. The plot includes a low-maintenance front garden and a larger rear garden with lawn and paved areas suitable for children or outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note some limitations: the house has one family bathroom serving four bedrooms, internal living space is described as average for a four-bedroom home (around 1,118 sq ft), and the front garden is small. The property sits in an area with high deprivation indicators and a local classification of “Hampered neighbourhoods,” which may affect longer-term resale and community services. Overall, this is a practical, modern family home with good digital connectivity and substantial outdoor space, best suited to buyers prioritising value and views over a larger internal footprint.
