This upper two-bedroom flat on Forth Avenue offers an affordable entry into Kirkcaldy, priced at £85,000. Set in a traditional stone Victorian building a short walk from the train station, it combines strong commuter appeal with ready-to-live-in basics such as gas central heating and double glazing.
The layout includes a good-sized lounge/dining room, kitchen with appliance space, two front-facing bedrooms and a bathroom with overhead shower. The flat comes with a private and shared rear garden laid mainly to lawn, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical benefits for a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental potential.
Important considerations: the property is small (approximately 572 sq ft) and sits in an area classed as very deprived. The exterior and some internal elements show dated fixtures and suggest cosmetic updating or minor modernization may be needed; images indicate possible damp on the stone façade, so buyers should arrange a survey. Tenure is currently unknown, which will need confirming before purchase.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located flat that suits a buyer wanting low-cost access to the market or an investor after strong rental demand from commuters to Edinburgh. Its location, commuter links and fast digital connectivity are clear strengths, balanced by modest size and some refurbishment and administrative checks required.
