Summary - 78, MOIRA TERRACE, EDINBURGH EH7 6SA
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Three-bedroom terrace with south-facing garden and strong renovation potential.
Victorian terraced house with period features and bay-front sitting room
Light-filled Victorian terrace with genuine improvement potential, located east of Edinburgh city centre. The house offers two reception rooms, three bedrooms and private front and south-facing rear gardens — a rare combination for this area — so a purchaser can create a spacious family home or a high-demand rental after modernisation. The layout includes a bay-front sitting room with fireplace, a large living/dining room, long kitchen and a shower room at the half-landing.
The property is sold freehold and benefits from unrestricted on-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds. Local amenities are close by: Morrison’s and other supermarkets, Meadowbank and Fort Kinnaird retail and leisure, good bus links into the city centre and easy access to Portobello’s promenade and beach. Two storage cupboards on the first-floor landing add practical storage.
Important drawbacks are straightforward: the house now requires modernisation throughout and the gas cooker is not working. There is a single shower room only, and council tax is above average. The wider area records higher deprivation indices despite being a desirable residential neighbourhood, so buyers seeking long-term rental yield or renovation projects should factor in refurbishment costs and potential short-term inconvenience.
Overall, this terraced home is well positioned for buyers who want period character and outdoor space in a city location and are prepared to invest in upgrading. It suits growing families, sharers or investors looking for a renovation project with strong location advantages.
