A compact one-bedroom flat in a 1920 sandstone tenement, this property offers an affordable entrance to Dundee’s housing market or a straightforward buy-to-let. The building retains period character — sash-style windows and a Georgian frontage — while the apartment presents a mostly modern interior including a recently fitted bathroom and a functional kitchen.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, very low council tax and no flood risk. The layout gives a large primary living room and useful hallway storage; overall floor area is in the mid-500s to mid-600s sq ft range depending on the record used. On-street or communal facilities provide parking and there is easy access to local shops, buses and leisure amenities.
Drawbacks are clear and factual: listing records conflict on whether the flat is ground-floor or top/third-floor — this should be confirmed before viewing. The area is described as very deprived with hard-pressed local demographics, and the property sits directly off the pavement with limited private outdoor space. Cosmetic updates are needed in places (hallway wallpaper, general decorating) and, as with any older tenement, communal maintenance costs or repair liabilities may apply.
For a first-time buyer this flat represents low-cost homeownership with character and good connectivity. For an investor it offers straightforward letting potential in a central location, though factor in refurbishment costs and local socio-economic conditions when calculating returns.
