This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Balerno offers an accessible entry into homeownership with private gardens and off-street parking. The living room benefits from a large picture window and timber flooring, while the kitchen opens to the enclosed rear garden that backs onto pleasant greenery. A floored attic adds useful storage and extends practical space.
The property is presented in broadly good external order but is a blank canvas internally — kitchen and bathroom fittings are serviceable and would benefit from modernisation to unlock greater value. Rooms are average in proportion for a two-bed and the overall footprint (approximately 710 sq ft) suits first-time buyers or downsizers seeking manageable, lower-maintenance accommodation.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, private driveway parking and no flooding risk. Notable negatives are the need for cosmetic updating and the wider area classification showing local deprivation; buyers should factor potential resale considerations and improvement costs into offers.
For a buyer wanting a straightforward house to personalise, this home combines a peaceful outlook, outdoor space and useful storage in a comfortable suburban setting. Cosmetic investment and targeted modernisation would materially enhance comfort and market appeal.
