Spacious two-bed flat with garden, external store and Arthur’s Seat views — needs some updating.
726 sqft two-bedroom flat with private enclosed rear garden
Light-filled two-bedroom flat in Portobello offering clear value for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The apartment (approx. 726 sq ft) sits on the second floor of a mid-century three-storey block, with a large sitting room, two double bedrooms and practical built-in storage throughout. Notable extras include a private enclosed rear garden and a large external store-room — rare for flats in the area.
The property has good transport links, fast broadband (up to 1800 Mbps potential) and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to the city bypass. Views look towards Arthur’s Seat and Portobello Golf Course, and unrestricted on-street parking is available directly outside. Heating is mains gas with radiators; EPC rating C and council tax band B indicate reasonable running costs.
Buyers should be aware the building and exterior present as dated mid‑century pebble-dash and will benefit from external maintenance and cosmetic updating internally. The location is in a higher-deprivation area and the communal areas and façade show typical wear for their age. No factor is in place, so communal upkeep is the responsibility of owners. An inspection is recommended to confirm condition and any refurbishment costs.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with outdoor space and good connectivity — a solid entry point to Portobello for buyers comfortable with some updating and involvement in communal maintenance.
