Auction project studio with garden — full renovation required, strong location potential.
Auction sale 8 October — sold as seen
A one-bedroom ground-floor studio in Strone, offered at auction on 8 October. The property is a Victorian stone-built flat requiring a full renovation throughout — a clear project for a hands-on investor or experienced developer. It includes outdoor space and sits within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park boundary, offering genuine location appeal despite a very deprived local area.
Internally the flat shows signs of neglect and moisture (mold reported) and will need a full overhaul to modern standards. Tenure is unknown and the sale will be by auction, so buyers should factor in legal and title checks plus potential immediate works. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent, which helps for marketing to tenants or short-term lets once refurbished.
For an investor, the combination of low guide price, Victorian character, and garden space offers scope to create a marketable rental or resale unit after refurbishment. However, the surrounding area is classified as very deprived and nearby amenity provision is basic (wood, office, post office), which will affect rental levels and resale timing. Buyers should budget for comprehensive renovation, remedial damp treatment, and confirm tenure before bidding.
