Set within a red-brick Victorian tenement on sought-after Old Castle Road, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers period character and a rare freehold title for a flat. High ceilings, a bay window and a fireplace give the living room strong character and natural light. The building has a secure entrance, well-presented communal areas and a rear communal lawn with drying facilities.
The apartment extends to around 463 sq ft and includes an entrance hall with storage, double bedroom, bathroom with shower-over-bath, and a kitchen adjoining the living room. It is a straightforward canvas for modernisation — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry, an investor targeting rental potential, or a couple wanting character with upgrade scope. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern working-from-home needs.
Important practical points: the flat requires renovation and upgrading throughout, and the Energy Performance Certificate is D. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and rental yields; council tax is inexpensive. On the positive side, the location is consistently popular — only 0.2 miles from Cathcart rail station and within walking distance of Queen's Park, local cafes and amenities.
Overall this is a value-driven purchase for someone prepared to invest time and budget into refurbishment. The combination of period features, central Cathcart location and freehold tenure creates clear potential, balanced by the need for modernisation and local socio-economic challenges.
