This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Boswall offers practical, well-proportioned accommodation with private outdoor space and excellent parking provision. The living/dining room opens via French doors onto a low-maintenance front garden, creating easy indoor-outdoor flow. Two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a bright kitchen give straightforward day-to-day convenience for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors.
The building is a mid-20th-century, post-war block with double glazing and gas central heating; these provide reasonable thermal comfort and lower running costs. The property is an average-sized flat (approx. 724 sq ft) with a shared entrance and access to a communal rear garden — convenient but not private in every area. Council tax is described as affordable and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Buyers should note the area’s mixed socio-economic picture: the local neighbourhood is classified as comfortable but the wider area is a challenged transitionary zone and recorded as very deprived, which can affect long-term resale or rental demand. The interior shows mid-century fittings and some dated finishes (papered fireplace, older fixtures) so modest updating will likely be needed to modernise the flat and maximise value.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home with outdoor space and parking, downsizers wanting single-level living, or investors targeting steady rental demand. The flat’s strengths are its layout, storage, parking and outdoor access; its realistic drawback is the need for cosmetic/updating works and the local area’s socio-economic challenges.
