Private main-door lower villa with direct street access
Bright two-bedroom lower villa in Carrick Knowe, offering a practical layout for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. Accessed via its own private door, the flat includes a spacious sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower over bath. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Outside there is a private rear garden plus a communal drying green and unrestricted on-street parking. Local amenities include schools, shops, Tesco and the Gyle Shopping Centre; regular bus services provide straightforward access to the city centre, airport and motorway network. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
The interior presents as clean and functional but the building exterior and some internal finishes are dated and the property is sold as seen with no warranties. The lower villa’s size (approximately 693 sq ft) and freehold tenure make it a straightforward purchase, though buyers should allow budget for cosmetic updating and routine maintenance.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry to west Edinburgh or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Note the area’s wider socio-economic challenges; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on condition, services and any required improvements before offer.
