- Freehold two-bedroom flat, 452 sq ft
- Short walk to Dumbarton East train station (excellent transport)
- Residents' communal garden and courtyard
- Gas central heating and double glazing (EPC band C)
- Victorian character: high ceilings, stone facade
- Small overall size; limited internal living space
- Urban location: adjacent retail units and station noise possible
- Local area classed as very deprived; affects resale comparables
Set on a Victorian corner building within easy walking distance of St James Retail Park and Dumbarton East station, this two-bedroom freehold flat offers compact city living with period character. The layout includes lounge, scullery kitchen, two bedrooms, utility room and bathroom (over-bath shower). High ceilings and some original stonework add personality and potential for sympathetic updating.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and access to well-tended communal gardens and courtyard — a rare outdoor space for inner-town flats. At 452 sq ft the accommodation is small but functional, and the property is offered at a low price point that will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry into the area.
Buyers should note the building’s urban position beside commercial ground-floor units and the railway station only a short walk away; there is potential for street and rail noise. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which affects local services and resale comparables. The flat is serviceable but will suit someone prepared for modest maintenance and cosmetic improvement rather than a move-in-luxe finish.
Overall this is a value-focused purchase for someone prioritising location, transport links and period charm over space. It works well as a starter home or buy-to-let with straightforward communal grounds and good broadband and mobile connectivity.
