A bright top-floor one-bedroom flat offering compact, well-presented living in St Leonards, East Kilbride. The lounge and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 437 sq ft, while a large storage cupboard helps keep the space uncluttered. New double glazing and electric heaters reduce immediate maintenance costs.
The property sits in a 1960s low-rise block with communal entrance. Local amenities are strong — schools, shops, leisure centres, and transport links are all nearby — making this a convenient base for work or study. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are practical advantages.
Be clear that the flat is small and in a very deprived area; the EPC is rated D. The building’s utilitarian construction and communal setting are typical of the era and may not suit buyers seeking period character or large rooms. This is well suited to a first-time buyer or investor looking for a low-cost freehold purchase with reasonable rental or owner-occupier potential.
