This quietly situated first-floor flat combines contemporary living with everyday convenience. A private main-door entrance leads into a bright, open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen with dual-aspect windows and a southeast-facing balcony that offers open views towards Arthur’s Seat. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a separate utility room, all within an average-sized 732 sq ft footprint.
Practical benefits include private residents’ parking, well-maintained communal gardens, EPC rating B, freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. Shops and services at Meadowbank Retail Park are a short walk away, and Easter Road provides additional cafes, amenities and transport links, suiting students and commuters.
Buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors: the wider area is classified as very deprived and is a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, which can mean higher footfall and noise at times. The flat sits up a short flight of steps to its entrance, which may affect accessibility. There is a single bathroom for two bedrooms — practical but something to consider for households wanting additional bathrooms.
Offered at £275,000, this freehold two-bedroom apartment is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer seeking a well-connected, low-maintenance home with scope to personalise. It also suits buy-to-let investors targeting student or commuter demand, though the local social profile should be considered when assessing rental strategy.
