This tidy three-bedroom semi-detached home on Minnipool Brae offers practical, low-maintenance living for a first-time buyer or small family. The living room centres on a multi-fuel burning stove that gives character and efficient supplementary heating, while gas-fired central heating and full double glazing provide everyday comfort. Ground-floor and ensuite WCs add useful practicality for busy mornings.
Externally the plot is straightforward to maintain: a paved driveway provides off-street parking, a gravelled rear area with timber log store and shed keeps garden chores minimal, and side gated access increases privacy. The internal footprint is average for a mid‑20th century two-storey house, delivering three spacious bedrooms and a generous shower room across seven rooms in total.
Be realistic about limitations. Broadband speeds are slow in this location, the EPC is D and the area scores high on local deprivation measures; buyers should consider these factors for working-from-home needs and long-term running costs. There are no notable long-range views, and the home appears to be a modest, practical property rather than an upmarket or luxury purchase.
Overall this house represents a straightforward, affordable freehold purchase (Council Tax band D) for someone wanting a ready-to-live-in starter home with scope to personalise. It’s particularly suited to buyers prioritising low-maintenance outdoor space and reliable heating over high-speed connectivity or scenic outlooks.
