This well-presented semi‑detached villa offers practical two‑bedroom accommodation and a private rear garden, suited to first‑time buyers or downsizers seeking solid value close to Edinburgh commuter links. The living room's fireplace and a generous dining kitchen give real everyday comfort, while built‑in bedroom storage and a fitted bathroom keep upkeep straightforward. At around 791 sq ft, the house is an average‑sized family home with a manageable footprint and modest running costs (Council Tax Band B).
The property is freehold and sits on a residential street with a modest front garden and fully enclosed rear lawn and patio — an easy-to-maintain outdoor space for children or pets. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming. There is no flooding risk and the EPC sits at D.
Buyers should note the property's wider social and economic context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a transitional, Eastern European neighbourhood profile and a high proportion of hard‑pressed flat dwellers nearby. This may influence future resale or rental demand; purchasers seeking a quieter, more affluent locale should factor that in.
Overall the house presents as a practical, move‑in ready option with scope to personalise the kitchen and cosmetic finishes. Its combination of location, private garden and commuter access will particularly suit first‑time buyers looking for affordable entry to Edinburgh's housing market.
