- Compact footprint ~564 sq ft; best for small families or couples

This tidy two-bedroom terraced home in Craigentinny offers an affordable entry to Edinburgh ownership. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned for its size: an entrance hall, a spacious living room, dining kitchen with rear access, two bedrooms with built-in storage and a family bathroom. The property is freehold, double glazed and warmed by gas central heating — practical features that suit first-time buyers or buyers seeking a straightforward starter home.
Outside, the house benefits from enclosed front and rear gardens with a patio and shed, plus plentiful on-street parking. The garden spaces are private and low-maintenance, offering space for a small family or container gardening. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports home working or streaming.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the home is compact (approx. 564 sq ft) and décor is dated in places, so cosmetic updating would improve comfort and value. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a local profile of social-renting families and hard-pressed flat dwellers; buyers should consider local services and long-term area plans. Council tax band A makes ongoing costs relatively low.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable two-bed with genuine starter-home credentials. It suits a buyer who wants immediate move-in with scope to modernise over time, or an investor seeking steady rental demand in an accessible east-Edinburgh location.
