Located in a very deprived area—affects long-term growth
Bright, practical and well placed for local schools and buses, this two-bedroom duplex occupies the top levels of a mid-20th-century block in Dalkeith. The living/dining room and principal bedroom capture open views and good daylight; built-in storage and an external private cupboard add useful space. Communal gardens surround the building and on-street parking is available.
The layout suits a small family or couple seeking affordable freehold ownership in a neighbourhood with convenient amenities. Heating is electric and windows are double glazed; the bathroom has a shower over bath. The property’s size and room proportions are typical for a two-bedroom flat and the third-floor position gives privacy and quieter outlooks.
Buyers should be aware of practical drawbacks: the EPC is E and the home is electrically heated, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas; broadband speeds are very slow. The wider area scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital-growth expectations. Internal inspection is recommended to assess condition and any update needs.
Overall this is an accessible, top-floor duplex with straightforward accommodation and potential for targeted improvements. It will suit purchasers prioritising location, outdoor communal space and a compact low-maintenance home, or investors prepared to manage energy and connectivity upgrades.
