Turn-key two-bedroom with garden and balcony near parks and retail.
Two double bedrooms and generous built-in storage
This bright, first-floor two-bedroom flat offers straightforward, move-in-ready living ideally suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing. At around 721 sq ft, the apartment feels spacious for its type with an open-plan living/dining area that opens onto a balcony and a private rear garden for outdoor space. Two double bedrooms and generous built-in storage make everyday living comfortable. The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
Practical conveniences are close by: regular bus routes, Drumbrae Leisure Centre, The Gyle Shopping Centre, nearby parks and local shops mean everyday errands and leisure are easy. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and streaming. On-street parking is available outside the block, and the building is a modest post-war brick block set in a quiet residential street.
Be clear about trade-offs: the property sits within an area described as very deprived and a local “hard-pressed” residential neighbourhood; some buyers will want to factor local social and economic indicators into their decision. The building exterior and communal areas are typical of the post-war era and may benefit from external refresh in time. There is one three-piece bathroom only, which may be a consideration for some purchasers.
Priced at £163,000, this flat represents a competitively sized, ready-to-live-in home with outdoor space and good transport links. It’s a practical, low-maintenance choice for a buyer seeking immediate occupancy and sensible value, provided they accept the wider neighbourhood context and the communal block’s mid-century character.
