Set on the top floor of a traditional red-sandstone tenement on Newlands Road, this one-bedroom flat offers bright, characterful living with modern comforts. The bay-window lounge and high ceilings flood the main living space with light, while the open-plan kitchen with gloss units provides practical, contemporary cooking space. The double bedroom includes substantial built-in storage and the bathroom has a white suite with a mains shower.
Practical features include Hive gas central heating, double glazing and secure entry, making the flat low-maintenance and comfortable year-round. A communal lawned garden to the rear provides outdoor space without private garden upkeep. The property’s size (c.533 sq ft) suits a single occupant or couple and its location in Cathcart places cafes, shops, parks and good transport links within easy reach.
This flat will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a city-base with character or investors seeking a straightforward rental in a well-connected area. Note the building sits in a more deprived local area and the interior would benefit from cosmetic updating in places — an opportunity to personalise or to increase value. As a top-floor home, access is by stairs only, which may be a consideration for anyone with mobility needs. Closing date: Friday 19th September, 12 noon.
