Set within a handsome Victorian sandstone tenement just moments from Helensburgh town centre, this two-bedroom first-floor flat combines period character with clear refurbishment potential. High ceilings, large windows and a focal fireplace give the lounge strong character and natural light, while two good-sized bedrooms include built-in storage for practical everyday living.
The layout is straightforward and spacious: a large entrance hall, bright lounge, fitted kitchen with room for a breakfast area, and a generous bathroom. Residents share a lawned back court with timber fencing and benefit from a row of brick-built garden stores. Mains gas is connected and the property is freehold — useful practical positives for buyers and investors.
The flat does need renovation and modernisation throughout; expect updating of finishes, services and decor. Broadband speeds are average and the surrounding area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale timing and tenant demand. Council tax banding is described as affordable, and there is no local flooding risk.
This property will suit first-time buyers or investors who want a central Helensburgh address with scope to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. With both Helensburgh Central and Upper stations within easy reach, it’s also a practical option for commuters seeking a period home close to amenities and the seafront.
