This ground-floor, two-bedroom flat on Parkhead Cottages offers easy single-level living with private outdoor space and off-street parking — practical for first-time buyers, downsizers, or buy-to-let investors. The sun-facing living/dining room with a fireplace and a private lawned garden provide comfortable everyday living and outdoor access from a quiet cul-de-sac location.
Internally the layout is traditional and sensible: two double bedrooms, a shower room, a reception room, and a kitchen described as well-appointed. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C, plus useful built-in storage and included fitted floor and window coverings and integrated appliances.
Buyers should note the mixed condition: while the kitchen and services are presented as modern, some rooms show dated 1980s finishes (popcorn ceiling, older carpets) and the wider building has been described as having fixer-upper potential. That creates clear scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
The flat is freehold, about 676 sq ft, and sits conveniently for Livingston, Bathgate, Edinburgh and Glasgow — good for commuters. Practical extras include private driveway parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but house purchasers should be aware the local area has higher levels of deprivation, which may be relevant for long-term resale or lettings.
