One of the cheapest homes in Ayrshire is going under the hammer later this month with a starting bid of just £20,000.
The one-bedroom ground floor flat, on Hill Street in Saltcoats' town centre, needs renovating, but it offers a new owner plenty of potential to add value– plus it’s just a stone’s throw away from the sea.
While number 3a needs a major facelift, there are plenty of notable perks including the sizeable bathroom, with space for a bathtub, and the roomy bedroom, which boasts built-in shelving as well as pretty ceiling cornicing and a detailed decorative ceiling rose.
The accommodation expands to; a security-controlled entrance hall, reception hall with two storage cupboards, spacious lounge, galley-style kitchen, bathroom, and a well-proportioned bedroom.
The location of the fixer-upper means that new owners would be within walking distance of various local shops and amenities, with the nearest supermarket less than 500 feet away.
And not forgetting it’s seaside location with picturesque coastal views enjoyed within a minute’s walk away on nearby appropriately named Seaview Road.
With the property brought up to standard it would bring a likely rental income of around £350pcm.
The flat is going under the hammer at Auction House Scotland’s in-room auction at 2pm on Thursday, March 23 at the Radisson RED hotel, 25 Tunnel Street, Glasgow.
The auction will also be live streamed allowing interested bidders the option to watch and bid online, whilst telephone and proxy bidding is also available if potential buyers are unable to attend the auction to bid in person.
All bidders are required to register to bid before participating.
Anyone interested in viewing 3a Hill Street ahead of the auction is invited to attend an Open Viewing taking place on Tuesday, March 7 between 11.30am - 12pm.
For details about the property and how to register to bid, visit Auction House Scotland’s website.
