Light-filled ground-floor flat offering practical living and scope to add value. The living/dining room with a feature fireplace and two double bedrooms with built-in storage give a straightforward, easy-to-manage layout for a single person, couple or investor. A west-facing private front garden is a genuine bonus for an urban flat, with afternoon and evening sun and a view toward Arthur’s Seat. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place for everyday comfort.
The property is compact (about 507 sq ft) and will suit buyers who prioritise location and low running costs over expansive rooms. The finish is basic and cosmetic updating of the kitchen and bathroom would modernise the flat and is likely to increase value. Communal rear grounds are shared with other residents and on-street parking is unrestricted.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a low council tax band. The building and flat appear structurally typical of mid-20th-century construction but the interiors look dated; expect straightforward refurbishment rather than major structural work. There is no flooding risk recorded.
Note a material consideration: the wider area is classified as very deprived and the immediate neighbourhood includes a strong student presence. That affects long-term demand dynamics — it can support rental interest but may influence resale timing and tenant mix. Overall, this is a compact, well-located flat with garden space and clear potential for uplift through modest improvement.
