Set on the top floor of a modern purpose-built block in Merchiston Conservation Area, this freehold three-bedroom flat combines low-maintenance living with practical city convenience. The sunny, generous reception room and breakfasting kitchen offer comfortable daily living, while a versatile third room works as a dining room or bedroom. The principal bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The flat comes with an allocated private driveway space and a single garage, plus established communal gardens—useful extras for commuters and small families who need storage and parking. Broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively.
Notable costs and considerations are straightforward: the service charge totals about £4,200 a year (approx. £350 quarterly) and council tax is described as expensive. The interior shows some dated finishes (paint and carpeting visible) so cosmetic updating would enhance long-term value. The area’s wider statistical classification flags higher deprivation despite being popular with local professionals; buyers should weigh local context against the property’s strong access to schools, shops and transport.
Overall, this is a practical, mid-sized urban flat with parking and outdoor space, suited to professionals, commuters or a small family looking for a low-maintenance base in a well-connected Edinburgh neighbourhood. Cosmetic refreshment and an understanding of ongoing charges are the main points to budget for.
