This deceptively spacious three-bedroom lower flat in Gourock offers a practical family home with good bones. Set in a mid-20th-century building, the apartment benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a bay-front lounge that floods the room with light. Front and rear lawns provide private outdoor space uncommon for flats of this type.
The interior is straightforward and liveable but dated: the kitchen and bathroom are functional, and many rooms would benefit from modernization to unlock full value. With three double bedrooms and storage in the reception hallway, the layout suits young families or buyers seeking a roomy apartment without immediate structural work.
Location strengths include close proximity to local schools, parks, leisure facilities and established shopping. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. Note the surrounding area is classified as very deprived overall, so while the property is marketable for families and buy-to-let, local socio-economic factors may affect long-term rental demand and resale premium.
Buyers should be aware this is a smaller overall property (approx. 748 sq ft) and has a single bathroom. Cosmetic upgrading is recommended to modernise finishes and realise price uplift. The freehold tenure and relatively low council tax keep running costs modest, making this a pragmatic choice for owner-occupiers or investors prepared to refurbish.
