Quietly tucked above busy Shettleston Road, this one-bedroom tenement flat offers compact, efficient living for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen make good use of the modest footprint, while a double bedroom and three-piece bathroom complete practical accommodation. Communal rear garden provides outdoor space without private upkeep.
Built in traditional sandstone, the building delivers period character and high ceilings in parts, with modern laminate floors and an integrated electric hob and oven in the kitchen. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or digital tenants. The location places shops, cafés and regular bus links close by, with the M8 within easy reach for commuters.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 347 sq ft) and sits on a busy main road, which may bring traffic noise and reduced privacy for street-facing rooms. The wider area scores high on deprivation indices, and external stonework shows weathering typical of older tenements — future maintenance or pointing work may be needed. A potential mold issue was noted in photos and would benefit from inspection.
Overall this freehold flat suits someone seeking an affordable entry into Glasgow’s property market or an investor targeting steady rental demand. Its combination of low purchase price, strong connectivity and simple layout provides clear potential, but buyers should factor in possible maintenance and the compact scale when viewing.
