Inside the two bed West Lothian 'fixer-upper' cottage on the market for just £27k

A two-bedroom cottage in West Lothian has gone on the market with a guide price of just £27,000.

The traditional terraced cottage resides in the town of Blackridge in West Lothian. The small town is adjacent to Bathgate and is around an hour's drive away from Edinburgh.

According to the listing, the cottage is a "fabulous project for a builder or developer". It requires full renovation and is currently not suitable for habitation, but at such a low price it could make for a very good investment.

Instagram account CheapScottishHomes said: "This terraced cottage is going for online auction tomorrow with a guide price of 27k! The cottage does need work but for that price there would be room in pretty much any budget to get some work done."

Included in the stone-built property is a hallway, two public rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. It also comes with a private rear garden, free on street parking.

As can be seen accompanying the listing, the interior of the cottage appears very rundown. However, you can envisage how attractive the property could look with some work done to it.

The listing states: "Traditional terraced cottage in the town of Blackridge, West Lothian. Property requires full internal renovation. Currently not suitable for habitation."
