A well-proportioned two-bedroom ground-floor flat in Blackford, offering a practical home near the Royal Observatory and Kings Buildings. The layout includes a bright lounge with space for dining, a fitted kitchen with white goods, two double bedrooms with integrated storage, and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Gas central heating and double glazing are installed, and the property is currently vacant ready for immediate occupation.
Outside there is a private front garden with lawn and mature shrubs, plus access to a shared rear garden and two secure storage cupboards in the communal close. On-street parking is freely available for residents and visitors. The flat sits in a mid-century building with communal areas and presents clear potential for a cosmetic makeover or targeted refurbishment to increase value.
This flat will suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for a straightforward purchase with good transport links, local amenities and a strong broadband and mobile signal. Important practical notes: the property is in a very deprived local area classification and is being sold as shown in vacant condition with virtual staging used to illustrate potential. Buyers should factor in cosmetic updating to reflect personal taste.
Council Tax Band C and an EPC around band C are indicated, and the tenure is freehold. No flooding risk is recorded. These practical points, alongside the flat’s size and outdoor space, make it an attractive, affordable entry into Edinburgh’s south side.
