Summary - 151, GILMERTON DYKES DRIVE, EDINBURGH EH17 8LP
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home with clear renovation upside near local amenities.
Three double bedrooms across two floors, practical family layout
Tucked on a quiet Gilmerton street, this three-bedroom mid‑20th-century terraced house offers straightforward accommodation and clear refurbishment potential. The layout includes a bright front lounge, separate kitchen, versatile ground-floor space with garden access, and three double bedrooms upstairs — practical for a small family or buy-to-let investor.
The property is freehold and benefits from good digital connectivity (excellent mobile signal, fast broadband), easy on‑street parking, and proximity to local shops, Morrisons, leisure facilities and the Royal Infirmary. A fully enclosed rear garden provides an outdoor area for children or low‑maintenance planting.
Condition is dated and the house will require modernization; images show cosmetic wear (wall damage, unkempt exterior) and likely mechanical upgrades. EPC rating D suggests some energy improvements could be needed. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental values but also presents purchase opportunities at the asking price.
Overall, this compact terrace suits a buyer looking for an affordable starter home or an investor seeking a straightforward 3‑bed unit with refurbishment upside. Be prepared for renovation work and to factor area‑based market considerations into any offer.
