A top-floor two-bedroom flat offering a straightforward, affordable entry to the Hamilton market. The layout is conventional and practical: entrance hall with large walk-in storage, a spacious lounge with open aspects leading to the kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are already fitted, helping with running costs. The property is freehold and set within communal grounds with elevated views across the town.
Priced at £55,000 and extending to about 731 sq ft, this flat will particularly suit first-time buyers looking for a low-cost starter home or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income in an accessible location. Meikle Earnock has local amenities nearby and straightforward commuter links by bus and rail to Hamilton and the motorway network to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Buyers should note the building is mid-to-late 20th century social housing stock and presents modest, functional accommodation rather than modern finishes. The block and communal areas show signs of age and the flat will benefit from cosmetic updating and redecoration. Parking is limited and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and lettings in certain market conditions.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost purchase with clear potential for modest improvement and rental use, but it requires realistic expectations about finish, location profile and future maintenance of the communal building.
