This mid-20th-century semi-detached house offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Edinburgh property ownership. With two good-sized bedrooms, a living/dining room, kitchen and bathroom across an average 763 sq ft, it suits a first-time buyer seeking a manageable home close to local amenities and transport links. The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, off-street parking and gardens to front and rear.
Interiors are functional but dated: carpets, basic kitchen fittings and simple finishes mean cosmetic updating is required to modernise the space and increase kerb appeal. The paved outdoor areas are low-maintenance but small; there is a garden shed for storage. EPC rating is D, and the layout could be reconfigured to improve light and flow.
The location is practical rather than picturesque. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house suitable for home working. Note the local area is classified as very deprived; buyers should consider resale prospects and local services when weighing long-term value. Overall this home represents a sensible purchase for someone willing to invest modestly in upgrades to realise greater comfort and potential capital uplift.
