Ideal low-cost buy-to-let or fixer-first purchase near M8 commuter links.
Freehold one-bedroom upper flat with private side garden
A compact one-bedroom upper flat offered freehold and priced to reflect refurbishment potential. The accommodation includes a double bedroom with built-in storage, lounge, kitchen and bathroom — a straightforward layout suited to buy-to-let or a first-time purchase.
The building presents mid-20th century pebble-dash exterior finishes with some wear visible; internally the living room shows scuffed walls, a worn carpet and dated fittings. These are cosmetic issues that a modest refurbishment (flooring, redecoration, kitchen/bath updates) would address to unlock higher rental yield or resale value.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, a small private garden, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for tenants or remote workers. Council tax is very low, and the property’s location between Glasgow and Edinburgh offers commuter access via the nearby M8.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood context: the postcode sits within a very deprived area, which can affect demand and rental levels. This is a clear value-led purchase for an investor prepared to carry out upgrades, or for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry with scope to improve the home.
