Semi DetachedDescription
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached property in central Kirkcaldy is described as a refurbishment or redevelopment project. The accommodation is stated to include two reception rooms, a bathroom and three bedrooms, with the third bedroom formed in a loft conversion. The listing reports significant deterioration and says the property is currently uninhabitable, with the water supply disconnected because a stop cap is absent. It also warns that entry is unsafe due to potential rotten floorboards, debris from partially collapsed ceilings and related hazards. The timed online auction is scheduled for 29 October 2026. Shops, supermarkets, cafes, Kirkcaldy town centre, bus and rail links, Beveridge Park and the A92 are described as accessible from the property.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a heavy, high-risk project rather than a straightforward renovation: the listing describes the house as derelict, uninhabitable and unsafe to enter, and the frontage looks weathered with several windows covered or boarded. The three bedrooms, two reception rooms and central Kirkcaldy location provide a starting point for someone experienced who wants to rebuild and customise a family home, but the condition and feasibility need careful inspection and verification. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. This is an auction guide price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the three-bedroom, two-reception layout into a customised family home as part of a full interior rebuild.
- Use the central Kirkcaldy setting, within walking distance of town-centre amenities and transport, as a foundation for a renewed home or investment project.
- The property is presented as a blank canvas for an experienced buyer to assess and shape, subject to confirming the scope and feasibility.
Key risks
- Derelict, unsafe interiors with reported potential rotten floorboards, debris from partially collapsed ceilings and disconnected water supply; the roof is only partly visible and cannot be reliably assessed.
- Stripped and severely deteriorated conditions point to a full-gut programme, not a cosmetic refresh; allow for substantial time and coordination, with safe access and the extent of work to be established before proceeding.
