This ground-floor one-bedroom flat combines Victorian character with ready-to-live-in convenience, priced attractively for first-time buyers or downsizers. The apartment occupies a generous footprint (approx 991 sq ft) and benefits from original period features—fireplaces and high ceilings—alongside a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom.
Externally there’s a neat lawned front garden and an enclosed rear courtyard, offering private outdoor space uncommon for flats at this price. The long lease (977 years) and mains gas boiler with radiators provide practical ownership security and conventional heating. Local shops, pubs and regular bus links are within easy reach, with Seaton Burn Wagonway and nearby nature reserves offering regular green-space access.
Buyers should note some energy and insulation limitations: an EPC rating of E, double glazing installed before 2002, and cavity walls with no added insulation are likely to affect running costs and may benefit from upgrades. The property is leasehold, and while the very long term remaining reduces immediate lease concerns, prospective purchasers should check any service charges or ground rent.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful ground-floor flat offering generous internal space and outdoor areas for a competitive price — especially suited to someone seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home with scope for modest energy improvements.
