This bright one-bedroom upper cottage flat on Shawburn Crescent offers a generous layout and practical outdoor space at an entry-level price. The living room and double bedroom are both well-proportioned, and the fitted shaker-style kitchen plus three-piece bathroom make the flat move-in functional for many buyers.
Built post‑war and set in a semi-detached block, the property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, loft storage and off-street parking. A private garden provides room for relaxation or simple entertaining. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local schools, shops and transport links are a short walk away.
The flat is best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income potential. The exterior and some internal elements show dated styling and there is clear scope for cosmetic updating or more comprehensive modernisation to unlock value.
Buyers should note the location is in a very deprived area with an Eastern European community profile; buyers wanting a quieter, more affluent setting may wish to look elsewhere. Council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk, which supports low running costs.
