Gas central heating and double glazing throughout

Set in the heart of Dalkeith, this top-floor one-bedroom flat offers compact, low-maintenance living with excellent natural light and pleasant open views. The apartment has been well maintained and features a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing — ready to move into for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward city-centre purchase.
The living room is a comfortable size but incorporates a sloped ceiling from the attic conversion, which reduces headroom in places; potential buyers should note a small area of suspected damp in this room that may need inspection or remedial work. The bedroom is a good double, and the flat includes useful storage and a practical utility area to maximise the modest footprint (approximately 446 sq ft).
Practical considerations include unknown tenure (buyers should confirm lease/ownership details), average broadband speeds, and the property’s location in a very deprived area — factors that may affect long-term resale and rental demand. On the positive side, the town-centre position places shops, transport and amenities on the doorstep, and there is no flooding risk.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers wanting a turnkey central flat or investors looking for a straightforward let; it offers modern fittings and a traditional stone façade, but requires attention to the noted damp and confirmation of tenure before purchase.
