Summary - 23, OLD DALKEITH ROAD, EDINBURGH EH16 4TE
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Move-in ready cottage close to shops, hospital and transport links.
Semi-detached traditional cottage with period features and working coal fireplace
Bright, single-storey cottage in Liberton offering 1,047 sq ft of practical living space and original character. The living room retains a working coal fireplace and stripped doors and floors, creating warm period appeal alongside modern double glazing and gas central heating. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a dining room open to a contemporary kitchen with range cooker, and a bathroom with shower over bath.
Outside there is a small private front garden and an enclosed rear patio with low-maintenance planting, plus a private driveway for off-street parking. The location is strong for everyday convenience — within walking distance of Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and a short drive or bus ride to the Royal Infirmary, with excellent transport links to the bypass and A1.
Practical buyers should note material points plainly: the property faces Old Dalkeith Road so some traffic noise can be expected, appliances are sold as seen with no warranty, and the surrounding area is recorded as very deprived which may affect long-term price growth. There is potential to extend into the attic, but that requires planning and building consents.
This cottage suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a move-in-ready home with period character and modest outdoor space. It also offers scope for value-add renovation (attic conversion subject to approvals) for those wanting to increase living space and future resale potential.
