3 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious period home with garden and views, ideal for family buyers.

Private rear garden with lawn, patio and fruit trees
Generous reception room with period fireplace and built-in shelving
Modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and external garden access
Single family bathroom serves three bedrooms
Located above ground-floor commercial units on a main road parade (noise risk)
Free on-street parking nearby; gas central heating and double glazing
Situated in an area with higher deprivation; factor local area when buying
Set over two upper floors, this three-bedroom maindoor flat blends period character with practical family living. The principal bedroom’s dormer windows provide far-reaching views toward the Pentland Hills while the living room retains a period fireplace and built-in shelving; gas central heating and full double glazing are already installed.
The kitchen is fitted with quality John Lewis units and integrated appliances with an external stair down to a private, attractively landscaped garden — a useful outdoor space for children and summer dining. The property offers plentiful built-in storage including extensive eaves space, and on-street parking nearby.
Practical drawbacks are clear and important: the flat sits above ground-floor commercial units on a main road parade so there is potential for traffic and shop-related noise. Accommodation is served by a single family bathroom for three bedrooms, and the property sits in an area classified as more deprived than surrounding neighbourhoods. The garden is small-to-average for outdoor use and access requires external stairs.
This home will suit a family or professionals wanting generous, characterful rooms with straightforward finishing and scope to update. It also offers obvious short-term rental or investment potential because of the layout and location, but buyers should factor in noise from the parade, the single bathroom, and local area considerations when viewing.
