This mid-20th-century two-bedroom terraced house on Hepburn Drive offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Dalkeith’s housing market. The layout includes a bright front lounge, separate kitchen with utility room and rear garden access, two good-sized bedrooms with storage, and a first-floor bathroom. The property is Freehold and around 627 sq ft.
The house sits on a quiet residential street close to Dalkeith town centre with convenient transport links into Edinburgh, nearby schools and local amenities. Practical features include front and rear gardens, a garden shed, on-street parking, capped gas fire, double glazing and fast broadband — useful for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are basic, external pebbledash looks dated and interiors will need modernisation. The wider area is described as very deprived with predominately rented terraces, so buyers should weigh local market demand and refurbishment costs against purchase price and potential rental yields.
Given its size, condition and price, this house suits buyers looking to refurbish for personal occupation or investors seeking a value-add two-bed terrace. No flood risk is recorded and council tax is low, which supports manageable running costs while works are planned.
