This three-bedroom lower cottage flat in Gorebridge offers practical ground-floor living close to local amenities and regular rail links to Edinburgh. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and its own main-door entry, making it a comfortable starter home.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a generous, bright living room, a fitted kitchen with ample storage, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom with a full suite. At about 553 sq ft the accommodation is compact, so rooms are best suited to efficient family living or buyers wanting room-by-room flexibility rather than large open-plan space.
Externally there is a front and rear garden and off-street parking. The exterior shows some wear — an unpainted façade and garden that needs maintenance — so buyers should allow time and budget for simple repairs and decorative work. The property is in a very deprived, outer-city area, which may affect resale prospects and local services.
This flat is likely to suit first-time buyers or buyers looking for an affordable, freehold ground-floor home with scope to personalise. It offers immediate, practical accommodation with clear scope for cosmetic improvement and modest investment to increase comfort and kerb appeal.
