Summary - FLAT 2/1, 70, ARDBEG ROAD, ISLE OF BUTE, ROTHESAY PA20 0NN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable Victorian flat within walking distance of the seafront and local amenities.
Top‑floor one‑bed flat with partial sea and hill views
A rare entry‑level freehold flat on the Isle of Bute, this top‑floor one‑bedroom apartment offers characterful Victorian features and partial sea views without the usual leasehold burden. The lounge’s bay window brings light and outlook over the waterfront; the bedroom and kitchen also catch partial sea and hill views. Gas central heating and partial double glazing provide basic comfort, and there is exclusive use of a cupboard in the top floor close for extra storage.
The layout is straightforward: hallway with cloak/storage area, bay window lounge, dining‑size kitchen with appliances, a spacious double bedroom with excellent wardrobe space, and a three‑piece bathroom with shower over bath. Residents share a communal garden and benefit from immediate access to public transport, shops and the seafront on foot. The property is sold freehold and has no flood risk.
This flat suits a first‑time buyer or investor seeking a low‑cost foothold in a seaside town. The price reflects the area and the property’s condition: Energy Rating D and partial double glazing mean modest running costs but also scope for improvement. The building is traditional/top‑floor — expect stairs and typical maintenance needs of period properties. Council Tax Band A is shown at £1,484.02 for 2025/26.
Buyers wanting a ready‑to‑move bungalow‑standard home may find some updating desirable; those prepared to refresh the interior can create a bright seaside retreat with good storage and commuting links. The local area shows signs of economic challenge, so consider longer‑term resale horizons and rental demand if buying as an investment.
