2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming two-bedroom period home near the beach, move-in ready.
Stone-built C-listed 18th-century cottage with period character
This charming stone-built cottage blends period character with a tasteful, recently refurbished interior. The bright dual-aspect living/dining room and attractively fitted kitchen (including a Belfast sink) give the home a welcoming, live-in finish with move-in condition throughout. Two double bedrooms, attic and under-stairs storage make efficient use of the compact footprint.
Outside there is a private, walled rear garden and a well-kept front garden and storage area, providing sheltered outdoor space for relaxation or pots and seating. The location is convenient for seaside walks at Joppa and Portobello, and has easy access to Brunstane railway station and main road links.
Important practical points: the house is C-listed (historic/listed status) which will restrict alterations and may complicate extensions or major works. The overall property is small and external space is limited, so buyers needing large rooms or substantial gardens should note the footprint is compact. The surrounding area is described as an ageing urban community with higher local deprivation indicators — useful to consider for long-term investment plans.
For a first-time buyer or anyone seeking a characterful, low-maintenance period home close to the coast, this cottage offers immediate charm and strong connectivity, plus modern comforts like fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Freehold tenure and affordable council tax are additional practical advantages.
