Freehold lower villa with private garden and off-street driveway
This lower villa on Colinton Mains Road offers three bedrooms, a private garden and off-street parking — a rare combination for an affordable freehold in the area. The flat benefits from a modern kitchen, double glazing and good digital connectivity, making it move-in ready for buyers prioritising convenience and outdoor space.
Interior space is compact at around 539 sq ft with six approximate rooms and a single bathroom; room sizes are described as small. The layout suits first-time buyers or young families who value location and outdoor space over generous internal living areas. The property’s period exterior adds character but rooms will feel snug compared with larger homes.
Buyers should note the local context: this postcode sits in a very deprived area classification and the immediate neighbourhood is described as hard-pressed. That brings lower asking prices now but may affect long-term demand and resale values. The condition appears generally sound from listed features, though purchasers should budget for typical maintenance and check particulars at survey stage.
Overall, this is a practical, affordable freehold flat for someone seeking garden access and parking within Edinburgh without a high purchase price. It will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for entry-level stock, provided they accept compact living and the local area profile.
