Move-in-ready one-bedroom flat with bay-window lounge and commuter links.
Price: £39,500 — very affordable entry-level purchase
A compact, newly refreshed top-floor flat in central Montrose, offered at an entry-level price. The one-bedroom layout has been freshly painted with new carpets and laminate flooring, presenting a move-in-ready base with modern shower-room fittings and integrated kitchen appliances. The bay-windowed lounge brings good natural light to the main living space.
Practical features include a spacious double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, heated towel rail in the shower room, freehold tenure and very low council tax band. Excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and a 10-minute walk to Montrose rail station make this flat suitable for commuters or a buy-to-let purchaser seeking strong rental access to the East Coast line.
Important negatives: the property is small (approximately 388 sq ft) and on the top floor, so internal space is limited and access is by stairs only. The wider area is classified as very deprived with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and constrained renters — this both supports rental demand and brings locational risk. There is no private outdoor space and further upgrades may be desired over time despite the recent redecoration.
Suitable for first-time buyers seeking a low-cost foot on the ladder or investors targeting affordable rental stock, the flat offers immediate usability and commuter convenience while carrying typical small-flat compromises and neighbourhood considerations that buyers should weigh up.
