East Road, Elgin, IV30 1XG

At only a few minutes walk from the centre of Elgin and conveniently located roughly halfway between Inverness and Aberdeen, with good road and transport links to both, 23 East Road is an attractive, stone-built cottage with traditional charm. With an interior space of 51m2, the property benefits from a Council Tax band A rating. This, together with the possibility of an incredibly low EPC of band B if recommended actions are taken, marks this a potentially very cost-effective property. Its good valuation also makes it an exciting prospect for a couple or an individual looking to purchase their first home or investment property. The house has shared access to a pretty front garden.

Constructed in approximately 1930, the property has thick stone walls that retain warmth and offer natural soundproofing, it has also retained some of its earlier features, including slightly higher-than-usual ceilings, large windows and interesting architectural details. A clean white hallway opens into the spacious sitting room, decorated in a dove grey with white woodwork. A cater-corner wall is papered with a brick effect finish and its angles bring additional character to the space and create naturally occurring areas for seating and a dining or desk space.

A cheerful yellow-painted kitchen has a good number of floor and wall cabinets. Wooden worksurface space is plentiful, creating practical areas for preparation and serving. The kitchen has a comfortable and relaxed feeling and benefits from a rear hallway, providing additional storage and access to the outdoor drying area. The bedroom is decorated in grey and white and has a large built-in wardrobe that provides useful storage. Its mirrored front creates additional space whilst adding to the natural light in the room.

The bathroom has a WC, wash hand basin, and a bath with a shower over, finished in green and white with black panels around the bath. A courtyard is to the rear, which is enclosed with timber fencing and has space for outdoor drying. 23 East Road is a charming home in an excellent location for those who work in Elgin or the nearby enterprise centres around Nairn or Inverness. With such a reasonable valuation and the potential of low running costs, this is definitely somewhere a first-time buyer should take a closer look at.
