A well-presented two-bedroom top-floor flat on Airbles Street offers an affordable entry into Motherwell living. The open-plan lounge/dining area and fitted kitchen create bright, usable living space across about 775 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom suited to first-time buyers or couples. The property is freehold and comes to market at £68,000 — a clear value for a central location with strong transport links.
Internally the flat feels modern and tidy, ready to move into with no immediate work required. Natural light and a practical, traditional layout make it flexible for everyday living. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working and streaming, while very low council tax keeps running costs down.
Buyers should note the building context: a mid-20th-century concrete block in a dense residential area. The exterior is typical of Brutalist-style, communal housing and would benefit from estate-level modernization. The flat is on the top (third) floor of a walk-up block — there is no lift, so accessibility and moving large items should be considered.
The surrounding neighbourhood is an area with high local deprivation and substantial Eastern European communities; amenities and transport are close but the wider streetscape is modest. For anyone seeking an inexpensive, well-located home or a rental opportunity, this flat offers strong fundamentals — but factor in the building’s communal condition and the local area profile when deciding to view.
