This lower cottage flat on Bore Road is a compact, freehold one-bedroom property offering clear refurbishment potential. At around 447 sq ft it provides a bright living room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a galley kitchen and a three-piece bathroom with a window. Heating is by gas central heating and windows are double glazed.
The flat includes a private front garden and access to a shared rear garden with drying area. On-street parking is unrestricted and transport links are strong — close to Airdrie train station, regular bus services and the M8 for commuter routes into Glasgow and Edinburgh. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good.
The property requires renovation to reach modern standards and will suit someone prepared to invest time and budget. Given the very deprived local area classification and hard-pressed neighbouring housing demographic, buyers should factor local market conditions into pricing and lettings strategy. The modest asking price reflects condition and location, making it most suitable for investors, landlords or first-time buyers wanting to add value.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable opportunity to refurbish and improve a compact lower flat in a well-connected area. Its freehold status and simple layout make it an easy project for refurbishment or rental conversion, but the local socio-economic context and need for modernisation are material considerations.
