Modern two-bedroom home with private patio and low running costs, ideal for first-time buyers..
German studio-designed kitchen with Bosch appliances
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment at Rosebery Wynd offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers seeking modern, low-maintenance living close to Edinburgh. The apartment’s German studio-designed kitchen with Bosch appliances, fitted bedroom wardrobes and a private patio extend usable space and make everyday life easier. At about 792 sq ft the layout is sensible for couples or sharers, with good built-in storage and a bright living area with double doors to the patio.
The development emphasises energy efficiency and low running costs — solar panels, modern insulation and a predicted average annual energy saving of £979 compared with older stock. The home is backed by a 10-year NHBC warranty and a two-year after-sales service, giving practical reassurance for new buyers. Transport links are strong for commuters, with convenient road and rail access into Edinburgh and local walking and cycling routes close by.
Be aware of recurring costs and a few practical limits. Council Tax is Band E (above average) and the property is subject to an annual factor fee and additional consortium and float charges (listed in the details). The accommodation is an average-sized two-bedroom with one bathroom, so space may feel limited for larger households. The wider area is described in local profiling as having pockets of deprivation — check local services and commute times to ensure it fits your needs.
Overall this is a well-specified new-build apartment aimed at buyers who prioritise energy efficiency, low maintenance and commuter convenience. It suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a modern, warranty-backed property with modest outdoor space and sensible ongoing costs if the management fees are acceptable.
