Summary - Paisley Road, Renfrew PA4 8JL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful two-bedroom first buy near Braehead and strong transport links.
Top-floor red sandstone flat with bay-windowed living room
This traditional red sandstone top-floor flat on Paisley Road offers an attainable entry into Renfrew’s housing market. The bay-windowed living room fills the apartment with natural light, while two double bedrooms and a compact galley kitchen provide a sensible layout for first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward tenancy. Gas central heating, double glazing and an affordable Council Tax Band C keep running costs reasonable.
The flat is small (approx. 581 sq ft) and is best suited to buyers prioritising location and value over expansive living space. The building retains period character but some internal areas, notably the mid-century lounge and kitchen, are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and rental potential. Being top-floor, access is by stairs only — something to consider for mobility needs.
Externally the tenement presents well, with communal rear garden grounds and a well-kept common close. Transport links are strong: regular buses, nearby rail and fast access to the M8 and Braehead retail/leisure facilities. The property sits in a very deprived outer-city area; while that supports lower purchase prices and rental yields, it may influence local amenities and long-term resale prospects.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-cost freehold flat that suits a first-time buyer wanting a characterful home to improve, or an investor seeking an entry-level buy-to-let in a well-connected part of Renfrew. Be aware of the apartment’s modest size, stair access and the local area’s socio-economic challenges when assessing suitability.
