Affordable first-floor flat near Cessnock subway — investment or first home opportunity.
Traditional red sandstone first-floor flat with high ceilings
This traditional first-floor red sandstone flat offers a compact, characterful one-bedroom home in a well-connected part of Glasgow. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen take advantage of high ceilings and a large window, while a double bedroom and shower room complete the layout. Additional features include security entry, double glazing and a lockable storage cupboard on the landing.
The property is presented as a comfortable move-in option but does show signs of dated décor and will benefit from some modernisation to reach its full potential. Heating is electric, which can be more costly than gas alternatives, and the EPC is rated D. The building sits in a busy, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood within a wider very deprived area, which affects local socio-economic profile but supports steady rental demand.
For investors the flat is positioned for easy letting: close walking distance to Cessnock Subway Station, frequent bus links, nearby retail and leisure amenities, and student-focused demand. The listing cites an estimated gross yield around 9% and the property is offered freehold, with very low council tax banding.
This home will suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, central base to personalise, or a landlord wanting a straightforward buy-to-let with immediate rental appeal. Be aware of the need for cosmetic updating and the implications of electric heating when budgeting ongoing costs.
