This compact ground-floor corner flat offers an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s west side. At about 334 sq ft the one-bedroom layout is well presented with neutral finishes, a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, and good natural light from its dual aspect — suitable for a single occupant or as a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical features include double glazing, electric heating and freehold tenure, with very low council tax running costs. The flat sits within established communal grounds and benefits from an unrestricted on-street parking and a shared drying green to the rear.
The location in Chesser provides easy access to frequent bus routes, local shops, supermarkets and leisure amenities, plus nearby rail at Slateford — a clear convenience for commuters and students. Rental demand is likely consistent given the connectivity and proximity to local universities.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size and ground-floor position, which limits private outdoor space and may not suit buyers wanting a garden. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which can affect long‑term capital growth; the flat’s strengths lie in low running costs and immediate lettability rather than significant upside from gentrification.
