Welcome to Boswell Drive… a two-bedroom top floor flat in Blantyre offering generous space, a modern bathroom and clear potential to upgrade over time.
Ideal for first-time buyers, investors and families, this is the kind of property that gives you solid foundations, practical accommodation and the opportunity to add value.
Step inside and you’ll find a bright, well-proportioned layout. The spacious lounge gives you a comfortable main living area with plenty of room to relax, entertain or unwind after a long day.
The kitchen/dining area offers a practical setup with space for everyday cooking and casual dining.
While the property would benefit from modernisation throughout, this gives buyers the chance to personalise the home to their own taste and create a finish that suits their lifestyle.
There are two double bedrooms, both offering excellent room proportions and flexibility for sleeping, home working or guest accommodation.
The modern family bathroom is a key highlight, already upgraded and finished in a fresh, contemporary style — meaning one of the main improvement areas has already been taken care of.

There is also a private storage cellar within the communal area, ideal for bikes, tools or additional household storage. Further benefits include double glazed windows throughout.
