Edinburgh property: Cosy one-bed flat hits market as ideal first home at £125k

A one bed apartment that would make a perfect starter home for anyone looking to get on the property ladder has hit the market.

The cosy top floor flat is nestled in the Gilmerton area on Drum Street and offers a great space for first time buyers. It is already in move-in condition, according to the estate agents and boasts of a bright and spacious lounge, a modern family shower room, fitted kitchen and master bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

There is also a communal garden that is shared between neighbouring properties and is in short distance from supermarkets such as Lidl and Iceland.

The apartment is on the market for offers over £124,999 and comes complete with gas central heating and double glazing.

The interior has been finished to a high standard with a fitted kitchen and the family shower room consists of a modern walk-in shower.

Properties through Gilmerton reflect its hard working history. The village was developed as coal mining centre in the 1600s until it turned into a lime working community in 1800s. Despite being in an older building, the interior of the flat has been modernised, ready for its new owners.

The wood-effect lino and white walls offers a blank canvas for the new owners and the built in wardrobes in the bedroom means all the space can be used effectively.

Gibson Estate Agents adds: "Gilmerton is situated less than five miles south west of Edinburgh City Centre. It's a high amenity suburb with a selection of local shops nearby as well as Cameron Toll and Straiton shopping centre’s a short drive away offering a number of well known high street stores as well as large supermarket’s and convenient petrol stations.

"There is a good selection of local schooling as well as easy access to Edinburgh’s private schools and Edinburgh University. The Royal Infirmary is also just over a mile away and there are a number of convenient bus services into the city centre and surrounding districts.

"For those looking to commute out of Edinburgh, the city bypass is within easy reach, connecting with the A1, A68, A7, Edinburgh Airport and the M8 and M9 Motorway Network."
