Top-floor two-bedroom flat with pleasant elevated views
Quiet top-floor two-bedroom flat in Penicuik, well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The living room benefits from twin front windows and the kitchen is fitted with modern units, integrated oven and gas hob. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable, and an allocated parking space adds convenience.
The master bedroom includes two built-in mirrored wardrobes and a small adjoining study — useful as a home office or nursery, though the study is compact with a small window. The shared landscaped communal grounds are well maintained, offering pleasant outside space beyond the flat’s footprint.
Important practical points are the annual factoring charge of £1,252 for communal upkeep and block insurance, and the property sits in an area recorded as very deprived which may affect resale or rental demand in parts. The bathroom has a bath with an overhead electric shower rather than a mains shower. Overall internal area is average for a two-bed flat (about 710 sq ft), so room sizes are modest but functional.
This freehold flat offers straightforward access to local shops, public transport and nearby countryside. It represents good entry-level value for buyers wanting a move-in ready apartment close to Edinburgh links, or a manageable rental property with predictable running costs.
