A well-located two-bedroom lower villa offering a blank-canvas home in a popular south-west Edinburgh neighbourhood. The layout provides a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious living/dining room with garden outlook, two double bedrooms and a bright bathroom. At about 635 sq ft, the accommodation suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder.
The property has useful existing features: fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven, gas central heating, double glazing and good broadband and mobile signal. Front and rear private lawn gardens plus a shared drying green give outdoor space rare for a lower villa; the front lawn is enclosed with tall hedging for privacy. Local amenities, supermarkets, schools and regular bus links are all within easy reach, and the city bypass gives straightforward commuter access.
The house requires upgrading and cosmetic renovation throughout — described as needing renovation — so buyers should budget for modernisation works. The building appears structurally traditional with inter-war character but interior finishes and flooring will benefit from renewal. Council Tax Band C and freehold tenure are practical positives for owner-occupiers.
This is a practical, value-driven purchase for someone happy to invest time and money into improvement. For buyers seeking a turn-key home, the renovation requirement is a material drawback; for those prepared to renovate, the property offers realistic potential to increase comfort and long-term value in a sought-after location.
