This compact end-terrace on Reiket Lane offers a practical, affordable home in central Elgin. Built in 1975, the layout includes two double bedrooms plus a small box room, one bathroom and living space across two storeys — a sensible fit for first-time buyers or a small family. The freehold tenure and gas central heating give straightforward ownership and running costs.
The property is small (about 74 sq m / 797 sq ft) and shows its age; the 1970s exterior and interiors will benefit from modernization. The paved, low-maintenance garden provides outdoor space with scope for simple landscaping or a small patio. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Buyers should note the wider context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a concentration of rented terraces and constrained local renters. That affects resale outlook and local amenity provision, though the house is close to schools, public green space and central Elgin services. This makes the property suitable for first-time buyers wanting a low-entry purchase, or investors able to manage refurbishment and lets with realistic rental expectations.
Overall, the house presents clear value if you accept its compact size and renovation needs. It’s best suited to those seeking a budget-friendly starter home or an investment project in a well-connected part of Elgin.
