This upper‑floor, three‑bedroom maisonette sits in a stone‑built Victorian terrace on Balfour Street, offering traditional period character and practical commuter convenience. Set over two levels, the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and private plus communal garden space — rare extras for a central flat. The living room’s high ceiling, fireplace and cornicing are authentic period features that add charm and scope for tasteful updating.
At about 834 sq ft the rooms are compact and the layout is traditional; there is one shower room and three bedrooms, two of which have built‑in storage. The property is presented in reasonably good order but also has visible dated elements and some damp noted in external description — it will suit buyers happy to modernise or tailor the finish to their tastes. Energy performance sits at Band C, reflecting reasonable efficiency for its age.
Location is a strong practical draw: central Kirkcaldy position with easy access to mainline train and regular bus services to Edinburgh and Dundee, plus nearby local shops and services. The postcode sits in a very deprived area statistically, which may affect resale growth and street-level investment but also keeps the asking price competitive. Council tax is described as affordable.
This freehold maisonette is well suited to first‑time buyers seeking a period property with commuter links, or to investors looking for rental potential in a lower‑entry market. Viewings are recommended to judge room proportions and condition firsthand and to plan any renovation or modernisation work.
