Affordable two-bedroom flat with garden and balcony, ideal for first-time buyers..
Bright first-floor two-bedroom flat with balcony
Bright, two-bedroom first-floor flat with a generous balcony overlooking a private rear garden. The living space feels airy with recent flooring, double glazing and gas central heating providing straightforward everyday comfort. A private store on the communal stair and communal drying area add useful storage and practical outside space.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for an affordable entry into Edinburgh’s west side. The layout is traditional and straightforward, with a dining lounge that opens onto the balcony and two double bedrooms. The location offers good local amenities, frequent bus links to the city centre and easy road access to the bypass, airport and retail centres.
Buyers should note this is a mid-20th-century purpose-built block with pebble-dash elevations and some exterior maintenance needs; the front garden appears overgrown and the building exterior would benefit from cosmetic attention. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as hard-pressed with higher levels of area deprivation, which may affect long-term resale values and rental demand.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with genuine scope for cosmetic improvement and rental or owner-occupation at an affordable price. Viewers who prioritise space, outdoor access and good transport links will find it an attractive proposition, but buyers should factor in exterior upkeep and the wider socio-economic context when deciding.
