This upper two-bedroom flat on Pilton Drive offers a practical, well-presented home close to central Edinburgh at an accessible price. The apartment is entered via its own private main door and benefits from attractive, modern interiors, a spacious living/dining room and a southeast-facing main bedroom that brings morning light.
Accommodation is compact and efficient across c.689 sq ft: two double bedrooms (one versatile with built-in storage), a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and towel warmer. The property includes access to private side, rear and communal gardens and appears to have an off-street parking space/driveway to the front—useful extras for city living.
Buyers should note the wider context: the property sits in an area described as outer-city hardship with very deprived local indicators. While the interior presentation is tidy and largely modern, the building is mid-20th-century pebble-dash construction and may require some updating in places to suit long-term tastes and standards. The flat is offered freehold and has affordable council tax and excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking a modest, ready-to-live-in flat close to amenities and transport, or investors looking for a straightforward buy-to-let in Edinburgh. Be realistic about refurbishment potential and the neighbourhood profile when assessing long-term value.
