This first-floor two-bedroom flat (approx. 496 sq ft) is a freehold main-door upper villa with private gardens and driveway in Crewe Crescent, a north-western suburb with quick bus links to Edinburgh city centre. The property has double glazing, gas central heating, a modern shower room and a good-sized rear garden with shed and summerhouse — rare private outdoor space for a flat.
The home requires renovation and upgrading to reach its potential; cosmetic and kitchen improvements are needed although structural or flooding risks are not reported. At this price point it represents clear scope for a first-time buyer or landlord to add value. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Practical positives include off-street parking, private front and rear gardens, and proximity to shops, schools and leisure facilities. Be aware the immediate area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental dynamics. Internal viewing is recommended to assess finish and renovation extent.
This property will suit a purchaser seeking a modest, well-located starter home or a buy-to-let with refurbishment potential. It offers immediate outdoor amenity and transport convenience, balanced by a need for investment to modernise interiors.
