This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Sighthill offers straightforward, affordable living with practical extras that suit first-time buyers. A private main entrance leads to a central hall and a well-proportioned living/dining room; both bedrooms are sunny doubles, and the efficient galley kitchen and family bathroom complete the layout. The home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and included fixtures and integrated appliances, helping reduce immediate outlay.
Outdoor space is a genuine plus: a private rear garden with seating and a drying area provides a low-maintenance outdoor spot, while the private off-street parking is uncommon for the area. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the flat sits close to local schools, shops and bus links, making everyday life convenient and attractive for commuters or a small family.
The block's exterior is serviceable but dated and the property would benefit from cosmetic updating to kitchen, bathroom and external finishes to raise market appeal. The wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term resale and may influence mortgage/insurance terms for some buyers. Overall, the flat represents a practical, lower-cost entry into Edinburgh ownership or a straightforward buy-to-let with modest uplift potential following refurbishment.
