Affordable two-bedroom end terrace with clear renovation potential and good commuter links.
End‑terrace two‑bedrooms, approx. 833 sq ft over multiple storeys
This end-terraced, two-bedroom freehold home in Herald Rise offers a straightforward purchase for a buyer seeking value and scope for improvement. At approximately 833 sq ft over multiple storeys, the layout provides space for a living room, breakfast kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — suitable for a small family, a couple or someone needing a home office.
The property is in need of modernisation throughout: exterior pebbledash shows its post‑war character, the sideyard/garden area is derelict and will require landscaping or clearance, and internal updates are likely to be needed to bring fixtures, fittings and decor up to contemporary standards. These works create clear potential to add value for an owner‑occupier or investor prepared to refurbish.
Location is a practical strength. The house sits within easy reach of Livingston’s retail and leisure amenities, including The Centre and the Designer Outlet, and benefits from good commuter links (Livingston South station, A71 and M8). Broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong, while there is no flooding risk. Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand.
This property suits a buyer looking for an affordable entry point with renovation potential — whether a first‑time owner willing to invest time and money, or an investor targeting a value purchase in need of upgrade. Important drawbacks: significant modernisation required, derelict outdoor space, and local area deprivation factors to consider.
