Summary - FLAT 22, THE ITALIAN CENTRE, 47, COCHRANE STREET, GLASGOW G1 1HL
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful two-bed flat in Merchant City with high ceilings and freehold tenure.
Freehold two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat in Italian Centre
Set within the landmark Italian Centre in Glasgow’s Merchant City, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat offers characterful city-centre living across approximately 703 sq ft. High ceilings and large windows in the living room flood the space with light, while period details and neutral palettes in the bedrooms suit immediate move-in. The property is freehold — an uncommon benefit for a flat — and presents strong short-term rental or owner-occupier appeal for those who want central convenience.
The neighbourhood is vibrant and highly walkable, with cafés, restaurants, theatres and transport links on the doorstep. Excellent mobile reception and a piazza entrance give the apartment a connected, urban feel. With two bathrooms and efficient room layouts, the flat works well for sharers, professionals, or buyers wanting a compact but comfortable city base.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: broadband speeds are reported as very slow and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Being in a bustling central location, the flat will also be prone to street noise and higher footfall. Council tax banding is not confirmed.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-situated flat with immediate lifestyle benefits and flexible uses. It will suit purchasers who prioritise central Merchant City living and either accept or can mitigate the practical drawbacks such as slow broadband and the local socioeconomic profile.
