Set within the Roman Conservation Village of Cramond, this one-bedroom freehold apartment offers an accessible entry point to west Edinburgh living. The flat sits in a striking concrete modernist block, surrounded by extensive communal lawns, mature planting and easy walking access to Cramond Beach, riverside paths and local cafes.
The apartment is an average-sized 495 sq ft with a mid-century–style living room and practical layout for a first home or rental. Local schools are well regarded and frequent bus routes give direct links to the city centre and The Gyle, helping both family life and commuter convenience. EPC C70 and fast broadband are practical positives for buyers.
Costs and context to note: the property is freehold but sits within a factored communal estate with an average service charge of £1,044 per year (circa £87 pcm). The wider area has good professional amenities but is flagged in the data as relatively deprived — this can affect long-term resale dynamics and should be considered alongside the strong local rental demand.
For a first-time buyer seeking a manageable, characterful flat close to coast and green space, this apartment combines practical transport links, a desirable school catchment and clear rental potential. The building’s brutalist architecture and communal maintenance mean you should inspect the concrete structure and landscaping upkeep as part of your purchase checks.
