Three double bedrooms with built-in storage and Arthur's Seat views
A bright three-bedroom semi-detached home in Gilmerton offering straightforward living, private gardens and off-street parking — an appealing choice for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let investors. The living room benefits from a large front window; the kitchen/dining area opens to a generous rear garden with a sunny patio. Upper rooms include three double bedrooms with built-in storage and two rooms enjoying views toward Arthur's Seat.
The property is freehold, gas‑heated and double glazed, with a compact yet usable footprint (approx 741 sq ft) and practical room proportions. Energy rating D and a very low Council Tax band make running costs modest. A driveway and street parking add convenience for residents.
Internally the house shows typical mid‑20th century finishes and will suit buyers happy to modernise: cosmetic updating is likely required in places and the layout/fixtures reflect an older style. The local area is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale timing and tenant demand; buyers should weigh location factors against the purchase price and potential rental yield.
Overall this is a value‑focused opportunity priced at £200,000 for someone seeking an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s market or a rental asset that can be improved with modest investment. Essential positives — private garden, views, storage and parking — combine with clear scope for updating to add value.
