This freehold mid-terrace villa offers a compact and practical layout across two storeys, with two double bedrooms and a recently replaced family bathroom. The property benefits from enclosed rear and front gardens, good mobile reception and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. Room sizes are modest (total 558 sq ft) and the living room features a fireplace and medium ceiling height.
The house is a post-war fixer-upper that requires renovation to modernise the interior and address evident structural wear and an outdated façade. EPC rating D indicates average energy performance; upgrading heating, insulation, and windows would improve comfort and running costs. The accommodation will suit buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment rather than move-in-ready purchasers.
Located in a residential area of Cumnock, the home sits close to a children’s playpark and local amenities including shops, leisure facilities and a nearby railway station at Auchinleck. The wider area is classified as very deprived with hard-pressed rented terraces — this affects resale values but can also present opportunity for buyers seeking affordable entry or rental potential.
For a first-time buyer or small household wanting an affordable property with clear scope to add value, this home presents a pragmatic project. For investors, the combination of low purchase price, freehold tenure and local rental demand could support a refurbishment-and-let strategy, acknowledging the neighbourhood context and refurbishment costs.
