This two-bedroom freehold maisonette on Queen Street, Dumfries, is offered as a ready-made income-producing investment. Arranged over two levels, the property combines period character — high ceilings and red sandstone frontage — with practical, modern interiors and an existing tenancy that provides immediate rental income.
Accommodation includes a bright living room and fitted kitchen on the first floor, with a second double bedroom and bathroom on the upper/attic level. The converted upper rooms have good natural light from dormer/skylight windows but include some sloping ceilings and restricted headroom in places. Overall internal size is average (about 775 sq ft), appropriate for steady rental demand in the town centre.
Location is central Dumfries (DG1 2JP), within walking distance of shops, transport links and local amenities; broadband and mobile signal are strong. Note the wider area is described as a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood with a constrained renter profile and very high local deprivation — factors that influence tenant demand, rent levels and long-term capital growth compared with more affluent areas.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax band and an already-tenanted setup for low-hassle ownership. Material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area, the upper rooms have limited headroom due to the conversion, garden space is small/likely courtyard only, and the exterior shows age-related weathering. Buyers should verify tenancy details, rental income and condition reports before purchase.
