This well-presented 2-bedroom semi-detached home in Bo’ness offers practical, low-maintenance living for first-time buyers or young families. The house sits on an enclosed plot with a south-facing rear garden that captures good sunlight and a tidy gravel front garden with driveway parking. Interior highlights include a bright lounge with patio doors, a functional kitchen/diner and two double bedrooms both enjoying views toward The Ochils.
The layout is efficient across approximately 79m2 (around 850 sq ft) with a contemporary shower room and useful built-in storage throughout. The property is freehold, council tax Band A (very cheap) and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — convenient for commuting and home working. Regular bus services link Bo’ness with Falkirk and Edinburgh, supporting daily travel needs.
Buyers should note the wider context: the local area is classified as very deprived/outer city hardship, which may affect long-term resale and investment appeal. The EPC is D65 and the Home Report valuation is £140,000; the current asking price is £135,000. There is a single shower room and no indication of an additional bathroom, which may be a consideration for growing families.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable starter home with immediate usable outside space and straightforward upkeep. It will suit buyers seeking a move-in-ready property in a residential, commuter-friendly town, while those prioritising investment-grade neighbourhoods or premium EPC ratings should factor that into their decision.
