A bright, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in Liberton, ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a low-maintenance city base. The main living room benefits from south-facing windows and French doors that open onto a private terrace, bringing light and useful outdoor space to this compact home.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and room for a small breakfast table, while the double bedroom includes built-in storage. A large bathroom with an over-bath shower and generous hallway storage add to the practicality. Gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs reasonable, and the property is sold freehold.
Practical perks include a secure communal entrance, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and an off-street parking area to the rear. The flat’s location places local shops, bus routes (day and night), green spaces and university campuses within easy reach — a convenient commuter and student-friendly spot.
Notable drawbacks are the flat’s compact overall size (approximately 458 sq ft) and the wider area’s high deprivation level, which may affect long-term resale premium. The building is modern and well-kept, but buyers should note the shared communal access and check any communal maintenance arrangements before purchase.
