Sunlit two-bedroom apartment with private roof terrace and garage, ideal for downsizers..
South‑east roof terrace with Pentland Hills and paddock views
Top-floor, dual-aspect living room with direct terrace access
Two double bedrooms, principal with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe
Private lock-up garage plus resident and visitor parking
Freehold tenure — no leasehold service charge concerns
EPC C rating; consider potential energy improvements
Slow broadband speeds — not ideal for heavy remote working
Council Tax Band F — higher ongoing local tax costs
Set in a peaceful development near Colinton Dell and the Water of Leith, this top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers airy, low-maintenance living with a large private roof terrace and uninterrupted views to the Pentland Hills. The dual-aspect living/dining room fills with natural light and connects directly to the south‑east terrace, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for relaxing or entertaining. A private garage and resident parking add practical convenience.
Accommodation is generous throughout: a principal bedroom with walk-in and fitted wardrobes and an ensuite, a second double bedroom with fitted storage, a well-equipped kitchen plus a utility room, and a separate family bathroom. The property is freehold and benefits from residents’ gardens and a calm setting that will suit buyers seeking comfort and accessibility rather than a project.
Important negatives are clear and factual: broadband speeds are slow, the property has an EPC rating of C, and council tax is in the expensive Band F — factors to consider for working-from-home or running higher ongoing costs. The area data is mixed: locally classified as an affluent community yet flagged with higher deprivation indicators, which may affect some local services.
Overall this apartment will appeal to downsizers or anyone wanting a spacious, light-filled home with countryside outlooks and low exterior maintenance, provided the slower broadband and higher council tax are acceptable trade-offs.
