This top-floor one-bedroom tenement flat on Maryhill Road offers a practical, well-laid-out city home in a convenient West End–City Centre corridor. The bay-windowed living room brings good natural light; built-in shelving and a dining-sized kitchen make the layout efficient for a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, reducing immediate upgrade needs.
The property sits in a traditional red sandstone block above ground-floor retail, so expect street-facing noise from a busy urban thoroughfare and no private garden — outdoor space is limited to communal or on-street options. The close is described as well maintained, but the flat is in a very deprived area; this affects local services and long-term demand dynamics despite fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical positives include freehold tenure (uncommon for flats), low council tax, easy access to buses and local independent shops, cafes and amenities. The flat is suitable for a first-time buyer, a parent buying for a student, or an investor seeking straightforward, low-maintenance tenancy. Cosmetic improvements could increase appeal, but there are no reported structural or flooding risks.
Material drawbacks: third-floor access via stairs, street noise due to the Maryhill Road location, no private outdoor space, and the wider area’s high deprivation level which may influence resale speed and rental yields. Buyers should view in person to assess noise, stair access and flat size relative to their needs.
