Summary - 21, SOMERVILLE ROAD, BALERNO EH14 5BF
Freehold two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, newly renovated
Large internal area ~947 sqft with two bathrooms
Private, well-maintained rear garden uncommon for a flat
Modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for home working
No flood risk; standard local utility suppliers
Located in an area rated as relatively deprived — affects growth/rental risk
Ground-floor location may suit accessibility needs
This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in a new development offers contemporary, low-maintenance living and clear rental appeal. At roughly 947 sqft and finished to a modern specification, the flat combines generous internal space with an enclosed private garden — an uncommon plus for a ground-floor apartment.
The interior is newly renovated with wooden flooring, neutral decoration and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms give flexibility for sharers, small families or long-let tenants; built-in storage in the master helps reduce furniture costs. Broadband and mobile signals are described as fast and excellent, supporting home working and connectivity.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area flagged as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital-growth prospects and rental demand patterns. There is no flood risk, the tenure is freehold, and running services are standard local suppliers. The setting is quiet and suburban-rural, but images do not show notable scenic views.
Overall this is a straightforward buy for investors seeking immediate let-ready accommodation or for buyers wanting a roomy, modern ground-floor home with private outdoor space. Buyers should factor local area economic indicators into purchase decisions.
