Affordable first‑time purchase with private garden and refurbishment potential.
Approximately 53 sqm (570 sqft) compact two-bedroom flat
A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offering an affordable entry into Restalrig. The property includes a south‑west facing living room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower over bath. Practical features such as double glazing and gas central heating help keep running costs down, and Council Tax band B is inexpensive.
Externally there is a small private garden and access to communal grounds with a drying green — useful outside space that’s rare for flats at this price. On-street parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity suit modern everyday needs. The layout and 53 sqm footprint suit a single occupant, couple or buy‑to‑let investor looking for straightforward accommodation close to Meadowbank and good transport links.
Be realistic about condition and context: the flat is small and shows some plaster and flooring issues in at least one bedroom, so light renovation will be needed. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with a ‘hard‑pressed flat dwellers’ local classification; this can affect long‑term demand and resale values, so buyers should factor local market dynamics into their plans.
Overall this is a budget-friendly property with clear potential: an attractive option for a first‑time buyer wanting to add personal finishes, or an investor seeking a low‑entry let with modest refurbishment required. Confirm tenure, see the Home Report for detailed condition notes, and allow a renovation buffer when budgeting.
