This 2-bedroom top-floor flat located at ³⁷⁄₅ Stenhouse Avenue West, Edinburgh, EH11 3EY is listed for £155,000. The property offers a convenient location with relatively easy access to Edinburgh city centre and local amenities. Public transport links are within a reasonable distance (1.81 KM to Kingsknowe ScotRail). However, it is important to note that the area, Sighthill/Gorgie, may not be desirable for all buyers. The flat includes a small private garden area, and a shared communal drying green.

Based on the photographs, the interior of the property is relatively clean but requires some modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated, and the decor throughout is in need of an update. The condition is not poor, but the property would likely benefit from cosmetic improvements to increase its appeal to potential buyers.

While the provided data is insufficient to accurately assess value relative to square footage, the £155,000 asking price appears to be relatively competitive within the local market, considering comparable properties and the overall state of the property. It is important for potential buyers to carefully assess this aspect. A homebuyer survey is highly recommended to identify potential issues. The presence of a small garden adds value, however, the condition of the garden itself seems to require attention.

Overall, the property presents a reasonable opportunity for first-time buyers or investors seeking a property in a convenient location within reach of Edinburgh’s amenities, yet requires updating for modern living standards. The buyer should conduct thorough due diligence before committing to a purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
