3 double/three-bedroom layout with traditional lounge/diner
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Elm Road offers clear refurbishment potential for buyers prepared to invest time and budget. The layout is traditional — lounge/dining, kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom — with a private rear garden and off-street parking. It’s freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for renters or home-working tenants.
Location strengths include Bathgate’s commuter links to Edinburgh and Glasgow, local shops and amenities, and a low council tax band. The property will be sold by Modern Method of Auction with a 56-day reservation period and a non-refundable reservation fee; prospective buyers should allow for these additional auction costs when budgeting.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived and the house will likely require updating and cosmetic works to reach modern standards. No flooding risk is recorded, but the home is being marketed on an auction basis, which usually means limited warranties and a faster purchase timetable. For investors, the combination of commuter appeal, low council tax and broadband connectivity supports lettability after refurbishment. For owner-occupiers, factor in renovation time, costs and the auction process before bidding.
