Set just moments from Portobello beach and the promenade, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers a compact, low-maintenance home in a quiet modern development. The bright lounge and contemporary kitchen give a pleasant, airy feel, while double glazing and a stylish shower room keep the interior comfortable and move-in ready. Communal grounds are well kept and there is ample resident off-street parking.
Practical running costs are a selling point for buyers on a budget: the property is freehold, in Council Tax Band C, Energy Rating C, and carries a low quarterly service charge of around £47 (plus a £50 float). Good mobile signal and fast broadband make the flat suitable for remote working or streaming, and local amenities and transport links are within easy reach.
The flat’s modest 432 sq ft footprint suits first-time buyers, singles or couples seeking a seaside location without a heavy maintenance burden. Internally the layout is traditional with a narrow central hallway and two double bedrooms (one with built-in mirrored wardrobes) — comfortable but without generous spare space.
Buyers should note the material limitations: the overall apartment is small and there is no private garden. The surrounding neighbourhood scores as very deprived in local area statistics, which may affect long-term resale or rental prospects. The building is a 1970s–1980s style block; while communal areas are tidy, the exterior and shared parts reflect that period and may require future maintenance.
