Summary - 55, GILMERTON DYKES AVENUE, EDINBURGH EH17 8ND
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable family home with loft conversion potential and strong broadband coverage.
Chain-free main-door upper flat with private garden
This chain-free, main-door upper flat offers practical family living in a post-war semi-detached building. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a bright living room, an upgraded kitchen, gas central heating and double glazing. A private garden and gated side access provide usable outdoor space for children or pets.
The property is offered in generally good internal condition but the exterior shows neglect: algae staining, overgrown fencing and an external stair requiring attention. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived and hampered, which may affect long-term resale and local services. Buyers should factor in external repairs and routine maintenance costs.
A large loft presents genuine potential for a conversion (subject to planning and building regulations), which could add two bedrooms and a bathroom — a clear value opportunity for a growing household or investor. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, and local buses and amenities serve commuter families.
Suitable for first-time buyers or young families seeking a practical, affordable home with scope to personalise, this property offers immediate occupancy with clear scope to improve and extend. Viewings are recommended to assess condition and potential firsthand.
