This second-floor, two-bedroom flat in Liberton offers practical, well-presented accommodation for a first home or buy-to-let purchase. The south-facing sitting room opens to a balcony and benefits from a fireplace and good natural light; the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and the kitchen is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances. Gas central heating and double glazing add year-round comfort.
The development provides secure shared entry, communal grounds and residents’ off-street parking — useful extras in a built-up area. At about 667 sq ft the layout is manageable for everyday living, with decent storage in the hallway and a single family bathroom with an overhead shower. The property is freehold and comes with floor and window coverings and light fittings included.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived and the neighbourhood is described as hampered aspiration, which may affect long-term capital growth. The block’s mid-20th-century exterior is basic and could benefit from external modernisation over time. There is only one bathroom and the accommodation, while tidy, is average in size — factors to consider for growing families. Overall, this flat is a straightforward, affordable option for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental income close to central Edinburgh.
