Step into a compact, ground-floor two-bedroom flat with real first-time buyer potential. The living room faces south, flooding the main reception with daylight and offering pleasant views over mature greenery. A separate single garage with power and communal gardens add useful storage and outdoor space rarely found with flats at this price point.
The accommodation is small (approx. 493 sq ft) and requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and modernisation works are needed to bring the kitchen, bathroom and decor up to contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are very slow, so factor in upgrade costs if you need reliable high-speed internet. The property is freehold and has affordable council tax banding, which helps running costs for a new owner.
Set at the foot of the Pentland Hills in Fairmilehead, the location offers quiet suburban living with easy access to bus routes, local shops and reputable schools. While the immediate neighbourhood is generally pleasant, some local statistics are mixed and parts of the wider area show signs of deprivation; this makes the flat sensible for buyers who value price-led potential rather than turnkey finish.
For a first-time buyer or investor, this flat presents a straightforward, lower-entry opportunity to add value. With targeted refurbishment — new kitchen and bathroom, rewiring or upgrades as required, and improved broadband — the layout and garage make it possible to secure a comfortable home or a lettable two-bed in a desirable south-Edinburgh suburb.
