Set within a quiet pocket of Corstorphine, this ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers practical, affordable living close to local shops and good transport links. The apartment benefits from a dual-aspect lounge/diner, a modern-style fitted kitchen with a breakfast hatch, gas central heating and double glazing — useful comforts for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors.
The larger principal bedroom faces the rear and provides room for freestanding furniture; the second bedroom is a sizeable single with integrated storage and attractive views toward the Pentland Hills. A three-piece bathroom includes a rainfall shower over the bath and a large cupboard housing the boiler. Residents also have access to above-average communal gardens, and free on-street parking is available nearby.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the building’s exterior and communal areas show mid-20th-century wear and will need maintenance and modernization. There are signs of potential damp externally and satellite dishes and communal areas look untidy. The flat is compact overall (approximately 654 sq ft) and some rooms are small to medium in size. EPC band D and the location’s higher area deprivation are relevant for long-term investment and resale planning.
This property is best for purchasers prioritising location and value over turnkey condition — those willing to carry out cosmetic updates will find a sound, well-located flat with steady rental or owner-occupier appeal. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low council tax band B are practical plus points that reduce running costs.
