This top-floor two-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers seeking good transport links and low running costs. The living room’s bay window and feature fireplace give a pleasing, airy feel, while the dining-size kitchen works well for everyday meals and casual entertaining. Recent gas central heating (2024) and double glazing help keep bills down.
Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a partly tiled family bathroom with an over-bath shower, and useful built-in storage plus a large cupboard by the entrance. The building has secure entry and a residents’ parking space; the property is freehold and about 743 sq ft, making it a solid buy-to-live-in option with scope for modest cosmetic updating if desired.
Practical benefits extend beyond the flat: immediate access to local amenities on Grahams Road, nearby Central Retail Park, and direct train services to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming without hassle.
Be aware the surrounding area is classified as very deprived and the local demographic is described as hard-pressed flat dwellers; this may affect future resale timing and neighbouring streetscape. The property is on the top floor, so access is via stairs only. The bathroom is functional but partly tiled rather than fully modernised. These factors are reflected in the price and present an opportunity for buyers wanting value and potential uplift.
