Summary - 17, LILAC AVENUE, DALKEITH, MAYFIELD EH22 5LG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Move-in-ready two-bed with landscaped garden and good commuter links.
Two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobe to one room
This two-bedroom terraced home at 17 Lilac Avenue offers a tidy, move-in-ready layout ideal for a first-time buyer seeking manageable maintenance and outdoor space. The lounge opens to a modern kitchen; both bedrooms are doubles and the bathroom is fully tiled with a shower-over-bath. The enclosed, landscaped rear garden features a decked terrace, pergola and bespoke seating area for low-maintenance outdoor living.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing, good broadband speeds and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold and sits in a popular residential pocket with easy access to Dalkeith, transport links and local amenities including shops, schools and nearby Vogrie Country Park.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property has a back-boiler heating system (may be less efficient and could require servicing or updating) and the exterior shows mid-20th-century pebble-dash and a flat roof that may need future maintenance. There is no off-street parking; residents rely on unrestricted on-street parking. The wider area is classified as very deprived with hard-pressed rented terraces and challenged local communities, which may affect long-term resale or rental demand.
Overall this home balances contemporary interior presentation and low-maintenance outdoor space with a few practical upkeep items. It will suit a buyer wanting a ready-to-live-in two-bedroom property close to amenities, while those seeking investment or long-term capital growth should factor in the local area profile and potential maintenance costs.
