Freehold ground-floor one-bedroom flat, 443 sq ft
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Alva offering clear short-term rental or refurbishment potential. The property is presented with basic fixtures and includes fitted carpets, floor coverings and integrated appliances, while the Home Report valuation (£55,000) and current asking price indicate a close-match entry point for buyers seeking value. Its freehold tenure, EPC rating C and no flood risk are practical advantages for investors and first-time purchasers.
Internally the living room and bedroom are bright with standard ceiling heights and built-in storage in the bedroom. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and the kitchen provides adequate workspace for daily use. Photographs and descriptions note some cosmetic and finishing work is required — the living room needs new flooring and other areas will benefit from modernisation to maximise rental or resale value.
Externally the building is a Victorian stone terrace with a shared rear garden and views towards the Ochil Hills. The location offers local shops, cafés, parks and reliable transport links to Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh, supporting lettability. Broadband speeds are reported fast and there is average mobile signal.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area which can affect yields and resale timescales, and the flat is modest in size (443 sq ft). For investors this is an affordable, low-entry freehold with straightforward upgrade potential; for first-time buyers it is a compact home in need of light refurbishment but with practical running costs (Council Tax band B).
