This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Falkirk with private gardens and off-street parking — rare for flats at this price. The accommodation is straightforward and practical: a bright front-facing sitting room, two flexible bedrooms (one with fitted robes), a fitted kitchen with appliances, and a tiled wet-style shower room. Recent works include a full roof replacement in 2024 and majority double glazing. Heating is by gas central heating. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent.
The rear garden is sunny and enclosed, accessed directly from the dining/second bedroom, and gives scope for low-cost landscaping to create an attractive outdoor space. Internally the flat is in average condition and largely ready to occupy, so it will suit buyers who want an economical home without major immediate work. Council tax is very cheap, helping running costs.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the wider neighbourhood is very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and local services. Externally there are visible maintenance issues to the outdoor boundaries and chimney and the garden fencing is dilapidated — these will need attention. The property is modest in size (about 700 sq ft) and the shower room is compact, so it’s best suited to single people, couples or first-time buyers prioritising value over space.
Overall this freehold lower cottage flat represents good value for first-time buyers or small households seeking private outside space and parking in Falkirk. Its combination of recent roof works, functional kitchen and low running costs makes it a practical purchase, provided you accept the local area challenges and allow a small budget for external repairs.
