Freehold flat — simpler ownership than long leaseholds
Gas central heating and double glazing throughout
Enclosed, low-maintenance communal drying garden

Very deprived area; local market dominated by constrained renters

This two-bedroom, two-level flat sits above street-front shops in central Kirkcaldy and offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or a buy-to-let purchase. The layout provides a roomy lounge/diner, breakfasting kitchen, bathroom with overhead electric shower, and a larger double bedroom on the upper level with built-in storage — all within approximately 740 sq ft. The property is double glazed, gas central heated and presented in nice condition, allowing immediate occupation without major works.
Practical features include a private vestibule entrance reached via a communal pend and stone steps, plus a fully enclosed, low-maintenance communal drying garden. Early entry is available, and included fixtures are floorcoverings, blinds, light fittings and integrated kitchen appliances. The flat’s freehold tenure is uncommon for flats and simplifies ownership compared with long leaseholds.
Buyers should note the location sits in a very deprived part of town with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and a local population of constrained renters; this affects long‑term resale dynamics and typical rental demand. The flat is above retail units, so expect urban street noise and delivery activity. There is no confirmed inter-linked smoke/carbon monoxide alarm system — buyers should verify and, if needed, upgrade to meet current Scottish regulations.
Overall this is a pragmatic, well-located property for a first-time buyer wanting central convenience or an investor seeking an affordable city-centre let. It suits someone prioritising location, solid basic condition and low running renovation costs over a suburban tranquil setting.
