About
Occupying a convenient position within a well-established residential setting, this one-bedroom ground floor apartment presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a project to create a home tailored to their own taste.
While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it offers a solid layout, generous storage and the added advantage of private outdoor space and allocated parking.
A private entrance door leads into a welcoming vestibule before opening into the main living accommodation.
The spacious lounge and dining room enjoys attractive wood-effect laminate flooring, creating a practical and versatile living space with ample room for both relaxing and entertaining.
A large built-in shelved storage cupboard provides valuable everyday practicality.
An inner hallway offers further storage, including a cupboard housing the combi boiler and an additional deep cupboard incorporating the cold water tank.
Buyers considering upgrading the heating system may appreciate the opportunity to remove the tank and maximise the available storage.
The double bedroom overlooks the enclosed rear garden and benefits from fitted bedroom furniture together with generous mirrored sliding wardrobes, offering an abundance of hanging and shelving space.
The bathroom has already been modernised and is finished in neutral wall tiling.
It comprises a white three-piece suite including a bath with electric shower over, wash hand basin and WC, providing a comfortable space ready for immediate use.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units together with an electric hob, oven and extractor hood.
There is space for a fridge, an integrated freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and a rear door providing direct access to the garden.
While functional, the kitchen offers excellent potential for refurbishment, allowing a purchaser to create a contemporary space to suit their own style.
Externally, the property enjoys a fully enclosed south-west facing rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, hedging and fencing, creating a private outdoor space with excellent potential for landscaping.
A garden shed provides useful external storage. To the front, there is a low-maintenance stone-chipped garden, an allocated parking space and an external storage cupboard.
Offering excellent potential, generous storage, private gardens and a desirable south-west facing aspect, this is an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to add value and create a home of their own in a popular Bathgate location.
