This ground-floor two-bedroom main-door villa in Colinton Mains offers a rare, affordable entry into a leafy south Edinburgh suburb. The flat benefits from private front and rear gardens, gas central heating and double glazing, delivering immediate comfort while you plan improvements. At 646 sq ft the layout is bright and well proportioned, with a sitting/dining room, separate kitchen and built-in wardrobes to both bedrooms.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout, which presents clear potential to add value—particularly for first-time buyers comfortable taking on a project or buyers seeking a modest conversion for long-term living. Included in the sale are fitted floor coverings, light fittings, curtains/blinds, major kitchen appliances and two garden sheds, reducing immediate outlay.
Colinton Mains is a popular, convenient location with local shops, a Tesco, good bus links and pleasant green spaces nearby, including easy access to Bonaly Country Park and walking routes with Pentland Hills views. Commuting is straightforward to the city centre, hospitals and major road links. Note the wider area shows higher levels of deprivation, which may influence local services and resale dynamics.
Practicalities are simple: on-street parking only and the property is freehold. If you’re a first-time buyer or hands-on purchaser seeking a well-located home you can upgrade over time, this villa is worth viewing — it combines immediate liveability with clear scope for improvement and value uplift.
