This rarely available semi‑detached two-bedroom house on Galt Terrace offers a practical, well-located home for a first-time buyer or couple. Inside, the living room and bedrooms are presented in a modern style with neutral tones, wood flooring and good natural light across an average-sized 743 sq ft footprint. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Outside space is a genuine asset here — large garden/yard areas provide room for children, pets or storage and create scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). Commuting is straightforward: the train station and multiple bus links are a short walk away, making city access quick and convenient.
Be realistic about the context: the property sits in an area classed as hard‑pressed with a high level of local deprivation and a prevalence of rented terraces, which affects neighbourhood character and long‑term rental demand. The home has one bathroom and an EPC rating of D; buyers seeking a modern low‑energy finish may want to plan improvements. Council tax is described as affordable and flood risk is low.
Overall this is a solid, affordable entry into Musselburgh with immediate transport links and generous outdoor space. It will suit buyers who prioritise location and scope to personalise a home rather than those seeking a fully renovated turnkey property.
