Character one-bedroom flat near Union Street — chain-free and move-in ready.
Victorian features: high ceilings, ornate cornicing, bay window
This traditional top-floor one-bedroom flat in Aberdeen’s West End combines period character with immediate move-in condition. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a wide bay window create a bright, airy living room; the layout gives clear lounge and dining zones, plus a generous double bedroom. The kitchen is practical with included appliances and the bathroom offers a shower-over-bath.
Practical running costs are supported by gas central heating and double glazing, and the property is offered chain-free — attractive for a quick purchase or let. At about 498 sq ft the apartment is compact but well laid out, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership compared with many flats. There is also a cellar and a shared rear garden for outdoor space.
Considerations: the EPC is band D and the area is classified as relatively deprived, which can affect resale and rental demand; parking is on-street by permit only; as a top-floor flat there is no lift access. These are realistic trade-offs for a property priced at £79,000 in a central, well-connected location.
This home will suit a first-time buyer seeking a characterful, city-centre starter or an investor looking for an affordable buy-to-let with straightforward management. Quick transport links, excellent mobile and fast broadband add to its practical appeal.
