Summary - 2, BIRSLEY ROAD, TRANENT EH33 1NL
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Characterful three-bedroom family home with garden, garage and solar panels.
Detached stone-built cottage with period bay windows and high ceilings
A detached stone-built cottage arranged over two floors, this three-double-bedroom home blends period character with practical family living. The ground floor offers generous reception rooms, a contemporary kitchen opening to a bright family room with wood-burning stove, plus a large utility and garage with electric door. Upstairs the principal bedroom is served by a modern shower room and a flexible landing ideal for a study or play area.
Outside, the private enclosed rear garden has mature planting, fruit trees and a patio — a low-maintenance space for children and gardening. A driveway plus additional on-street parking serve the property, and fitted solar panels reduce energy demand. The house sits within easy walking distance of local amenities, nursery provision and has good transport links to Edinburgh, beaches and leisure facilities.
Buyers should note wider socio-economic data for the area: the location is classified as ‘outer city hardship’ with indicators of very high deprivation. Council tax is described as expensive. The plot is modest compared with larger rural properties, and while well presented, internal reconfiguration or modernization could unlock further value for some buyers.
This home will suit families seeking a spacious, characterful house near good schools and outdoor amenities, and buyers who value immediate walkability to local services while accepting the trade-offs signalled by area-level deprivation and running costs.
