Low-maintenance modern rear garden with decking and paving
Approximately 850 sq ft; average room sizes and standard ceilings

This newly renovated two-bedroom end terrace offers practical, move-in ready accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The home benefits from a newly fitted bathroom and WC, gas central heating with Hive control, double glazing and a modern, low-maintenance rear garden — all reducing immediate maintenance costs and making day-to-day living straightforward.
Positioned close to local amenities, schools and Livingston Centre, the location offers good commuter links by road and rail to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The property is freehold, has an EPC rating of C, and the layout is compact but sensible: ground-floor living space with two double bedrooms upstairs. It can achieve up to £950 pcm as a rental, which will interest investors.
Buyers should note the wider context: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with many hard-pressed rented terraces. Parking is shared/off-street rather than private, and the house is of average size (approximately 850 sq ft) with standard ceiling heights — ideal for practical living but not for those seeking generous space or premium finishes. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Overall this is a sensible, economical purchase for someone prioritising location, low upfront maintenance and rental potential. It’s best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers who want simple outdoor space, or landlords seeking a straightforward let in a well-connected suburb.
