Bright two-bedroom flat with large private garden — ideal first home.
Private rear garden with sunny deck and lawn
Light-filled upper flat with two genuine double bedrooms and a surprisingly large private rear garden, this home suits first-time buyers seeking outdoor space without a house price. The living/dining room looks out over mature trees and brings a pleasant leafy aspect into the main living area. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernised, and built-in bedroom storage helps maximise the compact footprint.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working — plus a cheap council tax band. The garden includes a sunny deck and lawn, offering room for children, pets or future landscaping and entertaining. Energy performance sits at band C.
Notable drawbacks: the total internal area is modest (approximately 579 sq ft) so living space and storage are limited compared with larger family homes. The wider neighbourhood records high levels of deprivation, and the building exterior shows typical age-related wear that may need attention over time. There is a single bathroom with a mains shower over a P-shaped bath.
Overall this is a well-presented, practical starter home with genuine outdoor amenity and scope to add value through cosmetic improvements. It will particularly appeal to singles, couples or young families prioritising a private garden and good transport links to Musselburgh town centre and the coast.
