Bright, compact home with garden and quick city links for first-time buyers.
Freehold two-bedroom second-floor flat, approx. 614 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom second-floor flat in Craigentinny offering bright, southeast-facing living space and a clear view towards Arthur’s Seat. The living/dining room receives good morning light, and the well-equipped kitchen and neutral decor make the apartment easy to move into or rent out. A private section of garden plus shared communal green provide outdoor space uncommon at this size.
The layout is efficient: entrance hall with storage, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a versatile second bedroom or home office, and a three-piece bathroom. Appliances (electric cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine) are included sold as seen — no warranties are provided. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the flat is roughly 15 minutes by bus or car from central Edinburgh and about 25 minutes’ walk from both Portobello Beach and Holyrood Park.
Buyers should note the building and flat are dated and will benefit from modernization to reach their full potential. The property sits in an area with high deprivation indicators, which may affect resale or rental premiums. Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax, no flood risk, and straightforward transport and local amenities, making this a sensible purchase for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with modest size and cosmetic updating.
