Ideal for First Time Buyers

With deposits on mortgages as much as 40 % these days, it’s becoming harder than ever for first time buyers to find an affordable starter home. Increasingly, parents are helping out with the lump sum, and it’s not all doom and gloom as there are a few properties out there for less than £100,000.
One such property which is valued at £80,000 is situated at Port Buchan in Broxburn. The Union Canal was built from 1818-22, designed by Hugh Baird. Port Buchan was one of the important stopping places for cargo going to Broxburn. Today, the basin is enjoyed by swans and leisure craft and the canal towpath, which runs on the other side of the canal, is accessible from the nearby bridge for walking and cycling.

Broxburn itself has seen a huge growth in new housing and associated facilities, which is lifting the value of unusual, traditional properties like this. Comprising a ground floor end terraced flat, it contains a living room with kitchen, bedroom, utility hall and bathroom.

Gas central heating is economical to run but the property also has a small wood burning stove in the which gives a delightful focal point. The cleverly designed kitchen has a fold-down breakfast bar/worktop extension.

To the front there is a small private garden area with a paved path leading to the front door, and then onto the chipped bin storage area. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with some small shrubs and bushes surrounding. To the rear there is a large communal garden with a chipped area leading to lawn.
