This two-bedroom lower cottage flat in Espieside Crescent offers a budget-friendly entry into Coatbridge property ownership. The flat is freehold, around 626 sq ft, and sits in a post‑war building with pebble-dashed exterior — practical rather than ornate. Internal rooms are a comfortable, medium size and include a fitted kitchen, lounge and one family bathroom.
Practical strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and close transport links (bus and Blairhill rail nearby), making the flat suitable for commuting to Glasgow or Edinburgh. The property is priced low and carries cheap council tax, which supports affordability for first-time buyers or investors seeking a lettable unit.
Buyers should be aware of location and context: the wider area is classified as outer city hardship and local demographics are described as very deprived. The building is post‑war concrete render construction and may need ongoing maintenance; potential purchasers should check the condition of services, windows and external finishes. There is a garden, but outside space is modest.
Overall this flat presents clear value for buyers on a tight budget or investors targeting affordable stock; it rewards those willing to accept a simple, practical home in a hard‑pressed neighbourhood or to invest modestly in upgrading finishes and services.
