Summary - Cross Brae, Shieldhill, FK1 FK1 2EQ
Traditional sandstone semi-detached cottage circa 1890
A traditional sandstone one-bedroom cottage dating from 1890, set on a generous plot with private gardens, driveway and garage. The property retains intact period features and offers a bright, generous sitting/dining room and a double bedroom — a solid base for someone wanting to personalise a home. Practical elements include gas central heating, double glazing and timber-effect laminate floors.
The cottage requires renovation and upgrading throughout: cosmetic and likely modernisation works are needed to bring the accommodation up to contemporary standards. Given the property’s age and renovation status, buyers should allow for repair and improvement costs. The adjoining North-view cottage is currently also available, presenting an opportunity for those considering combined purchase or sympathetic investment.
Conveniently placed within walking distance of village amenities — shop, pharmacy, playground, school and leisure facilities — the home benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is described as cheap, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership. Note that the immediate area is classified as very deprived; this may affect long-term capital growth and local services.
Overall this cottage will suit a first-time buyer or small investor prepared to renovate and add value. Viewing is recommended to appreciate plot size, layout and potential.
