Summary - 43, NETTLEHILL ROAD, LIVINGSTON, UPHALL STATION EH54 5PP
Private main-door entry for independence and easy access
Newly renovated internally: windows, flooring, modern décor
Compact footprint ~400 sq ft; best for singles/first buyers
Double glazing; electric heating (can be costly to run)
Two generous storage cupboards and built-in wardrobes
On-street parking only; no private driveway or garage
Rear semi-rural views despite residential street outlook
Located in a very deprived area — affects resale/rental risk
This ground-floor, one-bedroom main-door flat is presented in move-in condition following recent internal upgrades: new windows, fresh flooring and modern décor throughout. The layout is compact and efficient, with a bright lounge, well-proportioned kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and two generous storage cupboards. Commuters will value the short walk to Uphall Station and direct links to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Practical features include double glazing and electric heating, plus private main-door access that feels more like a house than a communal block. The rear outlook opens onto semi-rural views, bringing light and a sense of openness to the small footprint. At around 400 sq ft the flat suits a first-time buyer, single occupant, or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance property in a convenient location.
Important drawbacks are factual: the overall property and plot are small, and parking is on-street only. The local area scores as very deprived, which can affect resale values and rental demand in the short term. The building’s mid-century exterior and communal elements show average condition and, while the flat’s interior is newly renovated, external maintenance or modernization may be needed in time.
This is a straightforward, budget-friendly home ready to occupy or let immediately. Buyers should weigh the strong transport links and recent internal upgrades against the small size, limited parking and wider area deprivation when considering value and future plans.
