Starter home or BTL in Carluke with gardens, commuter links and updating potential.
Freehold mid-terrace with three bedrooms and single bathroom
This mid-terrace three-bedroom home on Elderslea Road offers an affordable entry to Carluke’s commuter belt. At 671 sq ft it suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward accommodation close to schools, shops and the local train station. The property is freehold with enclosed front and rear gardens, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Rooms are traditionally laid out across two storeys with a lounge/diner, compact kitchen and a single bathroom upstairs serving three bedrooms. The rear garden is mature with patio areas and private screening, useful for outdoor relaxing or low-maintenance planting. Good road and rail links provide easy access to Glasgow and Edinburgh, and the town has local amenities including supermarkets, leisure facilities and schools.
Practical negatives are clear: the EPC rating is D and the house shows dated fittings — the kitchen is traditional and will need modernising for long-term comfort or higher rental yields. The wider area is classified as very deprived with many hard-pressed rented terraces nearby, which may influence resale values and lettings demand. Internal space is modest at 671 sq ft, so buyers wanting large family accommodation should note the compact footprint.
Overall this property represents a cost-conscious purchase with commuter convenience and basic outdoor space. It will suit buyers willing to invest time or money in cosmetic updating, or landlords seeking a straightforward addition to a rental portfolio in a well-connected town.
