Large social dining kitchen with garden access

Council Tax Band F — higher ongoing council costs
Located in a transitional area with high renter concentration
This nearly-new four-bedroom detached villa offers contemporary family living in a modern Kingslaw Gait estate. Built around two years ago and upgraded by its first owner, the home has bright, well-proportioned rooms, a large social dining kitchen with glass doors to the private back garden, and a sunny lounge to the front. Practical additions include a utility room, downstairs WC, attic storage and an integral garage with driveway.
Energy and running-cost positives include gas central heating, double glazing and rooftop solar panels; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make remote working feasible. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and there is a contemporary family bathroom upstairs. High-quality floorings, blinds and landscaped garden work have already been completed by the owner, so the house is ready to move into.
Buyers should note wider area and running-cost factors: the immediate neighbourhood is classified as transitional with a high proportion of renters and very elevated area deprivation indicators. Council Tax is in Band F (described as expensive), which will affect ongoing costs. The property is freehold and on a small overall plot, so outdoor space is easily maintained but not extensive. For families seeking a modern, low-maintenance home with good transport links to the A92 and rail services to Edinburgh, this presents strong convenience and contemporary style — balanced against local socio-economic considerations and ongoing tax costs.
