Set over two levels, this upper three-bedroom property offers practical, affordable space close to Bonnyrigg town centre. The accommodation includes a large open-plan living/dining room, a compact modern kitchen and a family-sized shower room, all within approximately 870 sq ft. Offered freehold and priced about £5,000 below home-report value, it suits buyers seeking an entry-level family home or an investor wanting straightforward rental potential.
The building is mid-20th century and was previously part of a mixed-use corner, with the residential accommodation above a commercial unit. The property is double-glazed with gas central heating and benefits from fast broadband and good public transport links into Edinburgh. Council tax is relatively cheap, and there is limited outdoor space to the rear.
Practical buyers should note some clear drawbacks: the property is in an area recorded as very deprived, the EPC rating is D, and the interior shows signs of dated mid-to-late 20th-century finishes that would benefit from updating. There is a single shower room for three bedrooms, and the mixed-use setting means the home faces a main street. These factors lower running costs and the asking price but may require cosmetic or functional upgrades.
For first-time buyers or investors, the flat represents a manageable, well-connected option with immediate occupation potential and scope to add value through targeted refurbishment. Viewing is recommended to assess layout, light and the extent of modernisation required.
