This two-bedroom mid-terraced villa on Balgowan Road offers an affordable entry into Perth’s housing market. The house provides comfortable, straightforward accommodation across two floors with a front lounge, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers or a small family.
Key practical advantages include gas central heating, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making the home ready for modern living. Small, low-maintenance front and rear gardens give outdoor space without onerous upkeep, and council tax is described as cheap, helping running costs. There is on-street parking immediately outside the property.
The property is in a very deprived local area and the immediate neighbourhood is described as constrained for young families and hard-pressed flat dwellers; this affects long-term demand and should be factored into resale expectations. Internally the finish is dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating — kitchen, floor coverings and decoration are serviceable but not contemporary. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed before purchase.
Overall this is a sensible, budget-friendly option for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out modest refurbishment. Its location offers easy access to local amenities and transport links in Perth, and with targeted updating the property could deliver comfort now and improved value later.
