This three-bedroom mid-terraced house on Polkemmet Road offers an affordable, move-in-ready base for first-time buyers or young families. The home includes a bright living room, a sizeable kitchen with integrated appliances, and a private enclosed rear garden — practical spaces for everyday family life. Chain-free sale and a Home Report valuation close to the asking price make it straightforward to progress.
Practical commuting is a key strength: the nearby M8 junction and local bus links provide easy travel to Edinburgh or Glasgow. Local primary schools are within walking distance and Polkemmet Country Park is close by for outdoor time. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C, helping to control running costs.
There are clear value-add opportunities. The 790 ft2 (73m2) house sits on a plot recorded as very large, offering potential to reconfigure or extend subject to permissions. Internally the home requires standard modernisation and redecoration rather than major structural work, so modest investment could increase comfort and resale value.
Buyers should note some practical concerns: the wider area is classified as very deprived and local socio-economic indicators are challenging. On-street parking is the norm despite a mono-blocked front offering potential off-street space. The property is offered freehold and chain free, but purchasers should view early to assess how the house and neighbourhood meet their needs.
