Summary - FLAT 5, 5, COLONSAY CLOSE, EDINBURGH EH5 1BT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, well-presented two-bed flat with secure underground parking and low maintenance.
Modern open-plan kitchen/living room with integrated appliances
Bright, modern two-bedroom flat in a mid-rise Granton development, offering efficient open-plan living and secure underground parking. The well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and generous living area give a sociable, low-maintenance home suited to everyday city life. Both bedrooms fit freestanding furniture; the single bathroom is clean and contemporary.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating and an allocated underground garage space — useful in this urban location. The flat is freehold, reducing long-term lease concerns sometimes found with apartments. Average communal service charges are approximately £1,800 per year (around £150 monthly).
Buyers should note the property is small overall (around 533 sq ft) with one bathroom, which limits suitability for larger families. The wider neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area and the ward shows higher levels of deprivation; this affects local amenities and may influence resale or rental profiles.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, well-presented city flat with secure parking and low maintenance. It offers straightforward living now and modest potential for rental income in a Granton location close to transport links.
