Characterful two-bedroom flat opposite Tollcross Park — affordable city base or rental opportunity.
Victorian red sandstone tenement opposite Tollcross Park
Set within a red sandstone Victorian tenement and opposite Tollcross Park, this two-bedroom flat offers characterful period features with practical modern updates. The front-facing bay lounge and double-glazed windows bring in good natural light while retaining a traditional layout that suits first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor. The property is Freehold and benefits from low council tax and fast broadband/mobile signal, helping keep running costs down.
The accommodation is compact but well planned: entrance hallway, bay-windowed living room, kitchen with room for freestanding appliances, two flexible bedrooms and a modern three-piece bathroom with an electric shower. The flat’s size is modest (approx. 479 sq ft), so it’s best suited to someone seeking an affordable city base or a rental opportunity rather than a family needing substantial living space.
Location is a key strength — immediate access to Tollcross Park, regular bus routes into Glasgow city centre, nearby shops, childcare and leisure facilities, and good local schools. The area is highly accessible and will see further investment around the Commonwealth Games which could support future demand.
Material drawbacks are straightforward: the flat sits on a busy main road (potential for traffic noise), there is no private outdoor space or garden, and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with cosmopolitan student activity nearby. Some buyers may wish to refresh finishes to maximise value. Overall, this is a low-cost entry into a central location with clear rental and resale potential if updated.
