We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Ground floor. Three Bedrooms. Private Main Door Entrance.
– Franklin Place, East Kilbride, G75 8LT Welcome to Franklin Place, a spacious three-bedroom ground-floor flat in East Kilbride offering something increasingly difficult to find - generous accommodation, direct access to outdoor space and the convenience of main-door living.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer or family, there's plenty here to work with. Step inside and the sense of space is immediately apparent.
The generous lounge provides a comfortable setting for everyday living, with plenty of room to relax, entertain or spend time together.
Better still, a door leads directly from the lounge into the communal gardens, creating an easy connection between indoors and out that's particularly valuable for a ground-floor home.
The fitted kitchen offers a practical layout with good storage and workspace, providing everything needed for day-to-day cooking while leaving scope for future owners to personalise the space to their own taste.
Three bedrooms give this property a level of flexibility that sets it apart from many flats in the area.
The two double bedroom's provide comfortable sleeping accommodation, while the third bedroom is currently arranged as a study/home office - ideal for remote working, a nursery, guest room or simply additional space when you need it.
A family bathroom completes the internal accommodation, creating a practical layout that works equally well for individuals, couples and families.
One of the property's biggest advantages is its ground-floor position and rear, private main-door access.
For downsizers & families wanting easier access or buyers simply seeking the convenience of ground-floor living, it's a feature that makes everyday life that little bit simpler.
Outside, residents have access to the communal garden grounds, directly accessible from the lounge, together with a communal drying area.
Residents' car parking adds another layer of everyday convenience. The property also benefits from double glazed windows throughout.
Positioned within an established and well-connected pocket of East Kilbride, Franklin Place puts everyday convenience firmly within reach.
A major draw is the ability to access East Kilbride Train Station, connecting commuters directly with Glasgow Central and making city working remarkably straightforward.
East Kilbride town centre is also close by, bringing an extensive mix of supermarkets, high-street shopping and everyday essentials, alongside ek Shopping Centre and its wider retail, dining and leisure offering.
When it comes to eating out or catching up over coffee, the town offers plenty of choice, from Costa Coffee and Starbucks to popular restaurants and bars including Zuccas, The Kittoch, and the characterful venues of nearby East Kilbride Village.
A good selection of local primary and secondary schools adds further appeal for families. Connectivity extends well beyond the railway.
Regular bus services link the surrounding neighbourhoods with East Kilbride town centre, Glasgow and neighbouring Lanarkshire towns, while the A725 provides straightforward access to the M74, M8 and wider Central Belt.
Healthcare is particularly convenient, with University Hospital Hairmyres located within East Kilbride alongside local gp and dental practices.
Glasgow's major universities, including the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian University and University of Glasgow, can also be reached by road and public transport, adding another dimension for students, academics and professionals.
Then there's the lifestyle.
Calderglen Country Park offers woodland trails, riverside walks and acres of green space, while James Hamilton Heritage Park brings waterside walks and outdoor recreation closer to home.
Fitness is equally well catered for, with PureGym East Kilbride, jd Gyms, local leisure centres and health clubs providing plenty of choice for an active routine.
With a train station within walking distance, excellent shopping, popular cafés and restaurants, respected schools, healthcare, gyms and some of East Kilbride's best green spaces all close at hand, Franklin Place delivers the kind of connected, easy-going lifestyle that works just as well for first-time buyers and professionals as it does for families and downsizers.
For buyers looking for the convenience of an apartment without sacrificing bedrooms, outdoor access or flexibility, this one makes a lot of sense. Tenure: Freehold Council Tax: B EPC Rating: E
