This top-floor one-bedroom flat in Wester Hailes has been newly refurbished and is offered in walk-in condition — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low immediate upkeep. The main level provides a bright living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe. New electric heating and double glazing bring immediate comfort and improved efficiency compared with older stock. A floored attic (with pull-down ladder and sockets) adds valuable additional space for storage or a home office.
Practical benefits include residents’ off-street parking, excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, and close access to local shops, leisure facilities, bus routes and Wester Hailes train station for direct city links. The setting is a mid-rise brick apartment block with limited communal grounds and small front planted beds, so outdoor private space is minimal.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the property sits in a very deprived/local hard-pressed area which may affect resale values and rental demand, and the main flat footprint is compact — much of the usable extra space is in the attic with restricted eaves and likely lower headroom. Heating is electric (new) which avoids immediate expenditure on a gas system but can mean higher running costs depending on tariffs. Overall this is a low-maintenance, newly finished flat that suits someone wanting a ready-to-live-in starter home or a straightforward rental with scope to add value by improving the attic conversion.
