Summary - West Riverside Drive, Dumfries, DG2 DG2 7HG
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter property with gardens and scenic outlook, minutes from school and transport.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage and upstairs wet room
This two-double-bedroom semi-detached house offers an affordable entry into Dumfries with gardens to the front and rear and open views across nearby playing fields. The layout is practical: lounge to the front, kitchen/diner to the rear with direct garden access, an accessible downstairs toilet and two double bedrooms served by an upstairs wet room. Gas central heating (combi boiler), double glazing and an EPC rating of C provide sensible running costs for a starter home.
The property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking a manageable project with clear upside. At around 675 sqft, the rooms are a comfortable size and built-in bedroom storage is already in place. On-street residents’ parking is available with realistic potential to create a private driveway, improving convenience and kerb appeal.
Be candid about condition: some interior elements are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. The area is classified as very deprived with an ageing local population and industrious hardship—this affects local socio-economic outlook and should be weighed against the property’s strengths. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, proximity to a well-regarded primary school and good transport links partly offset those challenges.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, council tax band B, no flood risk and easy access to Dumfries town centre, local amenities and the coast. Viewing will best convey the space, outlook and the straightforward renovation or cosmetic refresh potential.
