A bright, one-bedroom ground-floor flat presented in walk-in condition, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance city base. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen is light-filled with a picture window and glazed door leading onto a private decked terrace edged with hedging — a true sun trap for outdoor relaxation. The double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and the bathroom is smart and functional.
Practical running costs are favourable: double glazing, district gas heating, and a below-average service charge of £970.32 per year (approx. £80.86/month) which covers communal upkeep and building insurance. The property holds an EWS1 certificate rated A2, so no cladding remedial works are required. At about 456 sq ft and freehold tenure, this flat offers straightforward ownership without leasehold complications.
Location is a strong selling point for many buyers: Granton’s waterfront, local shops, leisure facilities and a short walk to Granton Beach. Frequent buses, cycle routes and easy access to the Forth Road Bridge make commuting straightforward. There is plentiful on-street parking nearby and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal.
Important practical points: the flat is compact (approximately 456 sq ft) so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The property sits in an area classed as very deprived, which may affect longer-term resale outlook and local services. Parking is on-street rather than private, and the accommodation is ground-floor level which some buyers may want to consider for privacy and security preferences.
