This substantial top-floor, two-bedroom red sandstone tenement flat offers strong refurbishment potential in a well-connected East End location. The principal reception is a bay-front lounge with good natural light and a box room off the lounge that could be developed further. Both bedrooms are located to the rear and enjoy open aspects. The building has a buzzer entry, shared rear drying area and managed communal close.
The flat requires a full programme of refurbishment: windows are timber single-glazed, internal finishes are dated, and heating is electric via a combination boiler. There is no private garden and access is by a winding communal stair (top-floor). Prospective buyers should allow budget for full rewiring, heating upgrade and general modernisation.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, convenient local shopping (Aldi, Tesco Extra), regular bus routes and nearby Shettleston station with city and regional rail links. The property is freehold with a below-average quarterly housing association fee of approximately £135.
This home will suit a first-time buyer prepared to renovate or an investor targeting a city tenement refurbishment. Be mindful the wider area is classified as very deprived; that informs both social context and potential rental demand. The location’s transport and retail amenities support rental and resale prospects once upgraded.
