Summary - 38, COWAN ROAD, EDINBURGH EH11 1RH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Quiet Shandon home with private gardens and generous living areas for first buyers.
Main-door Victorian flat with original cornicing and bay-windowed sitting room
Bright, traditional main-door flat set on a peaceful Shandon street, offering generous rooms and private front and rear gardens. The bay-windowed sitting room retains original cornicing and a fireplace, creating immediate period character and a welcoming living space. The kitchen is large and sociable with a recessed dining area, window seat and deep walk-in pantry; a separate utility provides laundry space and direct access to the low-maintenance back garden.
The double bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear and a sizeable box room off the hall provides flexible space for a home office or dressing room. Gas central heating and double glazing give everyday comfort, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit remote working. Residents’ permit on-street parking serves the flat; Slateford train station and regular buses connect the area to the city.
Practical buyers should note this is a traditional layout in an older Victorian building: some fittings and decorative elements are dated and the curtains and pendant lampshades will be removed before sale. The property sits within a broadly deprived local area classification, which may affect long-term resale dynamics, but benefits from nearby amenities, canal and park access that appeal to commuters and first-time buyers.
In short, this freehold main-door flat combines period character, generous internal space (approximately 947 sq ft) and private gardens. It is well suited to first-time buyers or professionals seeking a roomy one-bedroom home with useful additional rooms and straightforward maintenance needs.
