Summary - 16B, COCHRANE STREET, BATHGATE EH48 4JQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable first-step property with garden and low running costs.
Freehold upper flat with secure shared entrance
This upper two-bedroom flat offers a practical first home or buy-to-let opportunity in Bathgate. Set within a traditional stone-built block with a secure shared entrance, the layout includes a bright lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. Gas central heating and double glazing provide year-round comfort.
Externally there is a small private rear garden laid mostly to lawn with two sheds and access to a shared drying green, plus unrestricted on-street parking to the front. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — useful for working from home.
The flat is of average footprint for two bedrooms and presents good scope for cosmetic improvement to personalise or increase rental income. While generally functional, some areas show dated finishes (ceiling patterns, partial tiling) and would benefit from updating to maximise value.
Buyers should note the local area classification indicates a hard-pressed, very deprived neighbourhood. That affects long-term resale values and may influence tenant demand, though the property’s freehold tenure, low taxes and rental potential will appeal to cost-conscious first-time purchasers and investors seeking entry-level stock.
