Situated on the ground floor of a mid‑20th century development in sought‑after Morningside, this two‑bedroom flat offers low‑maintenance city living with a useful private garage. The living room provides space for dining, and both bedrooms have built‑in mirrored wardrobes, making the layout practical for a first home or downsizer. The communal grounds are well maintained and there is an external private storage cupboard for bikes or seasonal items.
The property is presented in tidy, move‑in condition with double glazing and electric heating. The layout is compact (approximately 614 sq ft) and rooms are modest in scale, so it will suit buyers prioritising location and convenience over generous living space. Average broadband speeds and excellent mobile signal support home working and connectivity.
There are factor/service charges (around £1,356 annually, approx. £113 pcm) covering communal maintenance and buildings insurance; council tax band is moderate. The block is a simple, practical 1960s–70s build — tidy but not architecturally distinctive — and the surrounding area is busy and well serviced by local shops, cafés and transport links into the city centre.
This flat will appeal to first‑time buyers or downsizers who value Morningside’s amenities and the rare inclusion of an underground private garage. Investors should note the compact footprint and communal costs when assessing rental yield potential.
