An immaculate two-bedroom apartment on Tay Road offers compact, low-maintenance living ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living, large windows and private balcony create a bright, modern feel while the layout keeps everyday maintenance straightforward.
Practical benefits include an ample master bedroom, a second versatile bedroom (home office or guest room), allocated parking and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The building is modern (post-2012), double-glazed and gas-heated with a 110-year lease remaining and nominal ground rent.
Be clear on limitations: the total internal area is small (c. 442 sq ft), outside space is limited to a private balcony and communal paved areas, and the local area scores as deprived with a high proportion of social renting and an urban cultural mix. The property is leasehold rather than freehold, and there is a single bathroom.
Overall, this chain-free flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, well-presented home close to transport links and good local schools, or an investor wanting a straightforward, easy-to-manage rental. The long lease and low running complexity reduce upfront risk, but buyers seeking larger living space or a garden should look elsewhere.
