Set on the first floor of a low-rise block in Mortonhall, this two-bedroom freehold flat offers practical space and strong local connectivity. The living room overlooks well-kept communal lawns and the building benefits from a single garage plus on-street parking — useful in a suburb with easy road links to the city bypass and airport.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an open-plan reception/dining room, two average-sized bedrooms and a single bathroom. The property has double glazing and electric central heating, and the compact kitchen is functional but dated (1970s finishes). Light, manageable rooms of about 699 sq ft make this a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or landlord prepared to modernise.
Notable positives include freehold tenure, a below-average service charge (£227), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Material considerations are the EPC rating of D, the need for internal redecoration and kitchen modernisation to add value, and the wider area’s higher deprivation metrics — factors to weigh if resale or rental premium is a priority.
Overall, this is a modest, well-located flat with immediate usability and clear scope for improvement. It suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s south side or investors targeting steady rental demand with modest refurbishment.
