Summary - 138, LEA RIG ML11 8EQ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable project with strong commuter access and low-maintenance gardens.
Three-bedroom mid-terrace with approximately 936 sq ft
A solid mid-20th-century terrace offering three bedrooms across two practical floors, ideal for buyers ready to personalise. The layout includes a bright lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and one family bathroom. Double glazing and electric storage heating are in place, and the property is freehold with approximately 936 sq ft of living space.
The house is best suited to someone seeking a value purchase or renovation project: the pebble-dash exterior, flat roof and interiors are dated and will benefit from modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow and the home relies on electric storage heating, which can be costly to run compared with gas or modern heating solutions. Mobile signal is excellent and there are low-maintenance front and rear gardens for easy upkeep.
Located in Forth village, the property gives straightforward access to nearby amenities and commuter routes. Livingston is about 20 minutes away and the Edinburgh City Bypass reachable in roughly 30 minutes; the M74 is also within easy driving distance. The surrounding neighbourhood is described as endeavouring social renters within a wider area of industrious transitions, and the postcode area shows higher levels of deprivation — factors to consider for lifestyle or rental prospects.
In short: this terraced home presents clear scope for improvement and potential uplift through refurbishment. It suits a first-time buyer willing to renovate, a hands-on family seeking affordable space, or an investor targeting a refurbishment-to-rent project. Important negatives are the dated condition, single bathroom, slow broadband and potentially higher heating costs from electric storage heaters.
