Description

This lower villa flat, part of a two-storey block of four units in the desirable Prestonfield area, offers a great opportunity for renovation and investment. While the property is currently functional, it requires some cosmetic updates and modernisation to truly shine. Ideal for various buyers such as first-time homeowners, couples, families, or those looking to downsize, this space has significant potential to become a comfortable residence tailored to your preferences. Internally, the layout includes a welcoming reception hall with ample storage, a roomy sitting room adjacent to a fully fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, and a practical wet room featuring shower facilities. The location is further enhanced by local amenities nearby, including small shops and larger retail options at the Cameron Toll Shopping Centre. Public transport links provide easy access to both the city centre and surrounding areas. The property boasts a manageable front garden primarily laid to lawn with hedged borders for privacy. Additionally, residents can enjoy access to a shared garden space at the rear for leisurely outdoor time. On-street parking is conveniently available without restrictions on Prestonfield Avenue itself. Key features include gas central heating supported by a combination boiler and double-glazed windows throughout. Included in the sale are essential appliances such as curtains, a gas hob, electric double oven, cooker hood, washing machine, and fridge/freezer—all sold as seen. Viewings are initially offered via a 360 Virtual Tour with physical appointments available through Truscott Property.
