This compact one-bedroom ground-floor tenement flat offers an affordable entry into Govanhill from a sought-after red-sandstone building. The open-plan living area with high ceilings and a double-sized bedroom make efficient use of 311 sq ft, while period features give genuine character. Double glazing, secure entry and electric heating provide practical comforts.
The kitchen is small, dated and will benefit from modernization; the bathroom is a simple three-piece suite. The flat is best suited to a first-time buyer willing to refresh the interior, or an investor seeking a low-price-let with easy access to strong local rental demand.
Location is a clear strength: Victoria Road’s shops, cafés and eateries are nearby, plus frequent bus and rail links to Glasgow city centre, and quick motorway access. Queens Park and local gyms are within walking distance. Note the wider area is classed as very deprived and cosmopolitan student neighbourhoods, which may affect long-term resale preference for some buyers.
Tenure is freehold, council tax is very cheap and the property sits in a well-maintained close with a residents’ rear garden. EPC rating D; potential buyers should factor in modest upgrade costs for the kitchen and overall modernization.
