Summary - Watson Street, Falkirk, FK2 FK2 7EX
Traditional late-Victorian sandstone cottage with character features
A traditional late-Victorian sandstone cottage offering comfortable, on-the-level living with private westerly gardens and a garage. The house sits within walking distance of Grahamston Station, making it a practical option for commuters to Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow. The property extends to about 797 sqft and includes a useful attic room above the garage previously used as a joiner’s workshop — good for storage or hobbies.
Accommodation comprises a sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms (one currently subdivided but easily returned to a single double). Practical basics are in place: gas central heating and majority double glazing. The cottage enjoys mature, sunny gardens with fruit bushes, lawn and timber shed, delivering a pleasant private outdoor space in a town-centre setting.
The house now requires renovation and aesthetic upgrading throughout; fixtures, fittings and decor are dated and some rooms will need modernising to meet current standards. Buyers should plan for refurbishment work and budget accordingly. The property is freehold, on one level, and suits someone looking for a period home they can personalise or a downsizer seeking garden and garage space without stairs through the main house.
This is a rare town-centre cottage with potential for value gain after improvement. It will particularly suit buyers who value a character property with private gardens and good transport links and who are prepared to undertake renovation to unlock its potential.
