Summary - 1, WATSON CRESCENT LANE, EDINBURGH EH11 1FB
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact, modern flat ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking easy maintenance.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with canal-facing windows
Quietly tucked beside the Union Canal, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a bright, open-plan living space and attractive canal outlooks. The contemporary kitchen and laminate flooring create a low-maintenance interior well suited to busy first-time buyers or professionals.
The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical strengths for homeworking or letting. The development is factored with a modest quarterly charge of around £93 and unallocated on-street residents’ permit parking nearby for owners and visitors.
Accommodation is compact at about 460 sq ft, with one good-sized double bedroom and a shower-over-bath bathroom. The footprint and open-plan layout make the flat easy to run, but the size will feel tight for those needing separate rooms or lots of storage.
Location is a clear selling point: close to transport links, local amenities and green space along the canal, and appealing to students, commuters and investors. Be aware the wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which may influence long-term rental yields and resale appetite in some market segments.
This property suits a buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in city-base or a straightforward buy-to-let with immediate lettability; buyers wanting larger living spaces or private parking should look elsewhere.
