Summary - 216, GILMERTON DYKES CRESCENT, EDINBURGH EH17 8JG
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three double bedrooms, enclosed sunny garden and off-street parking — good scope to modernise.
South-west facing generous rear garden and large patio
Bright and practical three-bedroom semi-detached home with a large south-west facing rear garden and off-street parking. The ground-floor living/dining room is naturally bright and the three double bedrooms all include built-in storage, giving useful family storage without immediate change. The fitted kitchen and wetwalled bathroom are functional, and the property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and freehold tenure.
The house sits on a quiet residential street with good local amenities and transport links nearby. The enclosed rear garden is a strong family asset — a safe, sunny lawn and large patio for children and pets. A monobloc drive provides private off-street parking for one car, and the property is Council Tax Band B with affordable running costs.
Buyers should note the home's overall footprint is small (approx. 705 sq ft) and there is a single bathroom for three double bedrooms. The interior and exterior are serviceable but somewhat dated in places and offer clear scope for modernization to add value. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived/challenged, which may affect resale prospects and local services; prospective purchasers should check local context and travel/amenity needs before committing.
This house will suit a family seeking a sunny garden and practical storage, or an investor comfortable working within a lower‑value neighbourhood and undertaking modest updates. It offers immediate occupation with straightforward scope for cosmetic improvement to raise comfort and market value.
