THIS appealing, three-bedroom, cottage-style upper flat in Clydebank could make for an inspired bargain buy for a family looking to take their first step on the local property ladder.

The Dickens Avenue property is on the market for offers over £110,000 and is listed with Allen and Harris.

Offering family accommodation, the property is deceptively spacious and, the listing states, comprises an entrance vestibule, reception hallway, large lounge, fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms, bathroom and loft storage.

The specification includes gas central heating, double glazing and sizeable gardens which are private to the rear and are fitted with generous decking space to enjoy those long and sunny summer days we’re all looking forward to.

With amenities and schooling of all levels nearby, the property would offer a welcoming home for a young family - and there are spectacular views to the west looking towards the Erskine Bridge, the Clyde and the Kilpatrick Hills.

The road and rail infrastructure (Dalmuir, Singer and Clydebank stations are all within a mile’s reach) make it an ideal commuter base, while the A82 is just a few minutes away, providing great road links to Glasgow, Dumbarton and beyond
