A well-priced ground-floor one-bedroom flat offering straightforward, low-maintenance living in a residential block. At about 551 sq ft, the layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with an overhead electric shower. The property is double-glazed and heated by electric storage heaters — practical but potentially costly to run compared with gas alternatives.
This home will suit a first-time buyer seeking an easy-to-manage starter home or an investor targeting the local rental market. On-site residents’ parking, a bike store and access to a voluntary community garden (approx. £10/month) add value and convenience. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average.
Notable drawbacks are the EPC rating of D and basic electric heating, which may mean higher running costs and limited energy efficiency. The building and finishes are modest and will likely benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise long-term value. Buyers should also check for the inter-linked alarm requirements in Scotland, as no warranty is given that these systems are fitted.
