This ground-floor, corner apartment sits in a modern, well-kept development and overlooks attractive communal gardens. At about 612 sq ft it offers two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a spacious reception room and a fitted kitchen — a straightforward, move-in-ready layout suited to a first home or buy-to-let. Off-street residents’ parking and a locked communal store add everyday convenience.
Running costs are reasonable: freehold tenure, Council Tax band C, EPC rating C, and a factoring charge of roughly £75 per month (around £900 annually) for communal upkeep. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus easy access to commuter links, Livingston Centre and McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, making it practical for work and shopping.
Be candid about location: the wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect resale and some aspects of local provision. The flat’s modest overall size and ground-floor position may not suit buyers seeking larger living space or private outdoor areas, but the corner aspect and well-maintained grounds give it good rental and entry-level purchase appeal.
