Summary - 5, DALRATHO ROAD, GRANGEMOUTH FK3 9JE
Large 1‑bed flat — approximately 646 sq ft
Private front and rear gardens with paved patio and shed
Rear driveway providing off‑street parking space
Gas central heating; boiler replaced in 2023
Replacement double glazing and refitted kitchen and shower
EPC Rating D — energy efficiency could be improved
Period features and stonework may need ongoing maintenance
Located in a more deprived, ageing urban area
Set within a late‑Victorian terrace, this surprisingly spacious one‑bed flat offers generous room proportions and private outdoor space — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character with manageable upkeep. The reception room’s bay window, high ceilings and original cornice give immediate period appeal, while recent updates such as a 2023 boiler, replacement double glazing and refitted kitchen and shower add everyday comfort.
The property sits on Dalratho Road with easy access to town‑centre amenities, strong mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for working from home or staying connected. Outside, the fully enclosed front and rear gardens and rear driveway provide privacy, off‑street parking and good storage including a substantial outbuilding and walk‑in cupboard.
Be realistic about energy performance and neighbourhood context: the EPC is rated D and the wider area is classified as more deprived with ageing urban demographics. The building dates from 1890 so there may be ongoing maintenance typical of period homes (stonework, sash windows, decorative plasterwork). The flat’s 646 sq ft layout makes it considerably larger than many one‑beds, offering scope to personalise rather than move immediately.
Overall this freehold ground‑level flat combines period charm, useful modern upgrades and practical outdoor space. It will suit a buyer wanting character, space and a low‑maintenance garden, who is comfortable with energy‑efficiency improvements and period property upkeep.
