A compact one-bedroom flat set within a handsome Victorian sandstone tenement on Shakespeare Street. High ceilings and a street-facing bay window give the main living space character and plenty of natural light, while the open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a usable social space for dining and relaxing.
The apartment benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and secure entry, with access to a well-kept communal garden at the rear. On-street permit parking is available from Glasgow City Council. At around 431 sq ft the layout suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a manageable low-maintenance home or city-let in a popular West End location.
Location is a major draw: Byres Road, the Botanic Gardens and transport links (Kelvinbridge underground, buses and rail) are within easy reach. The neighbourhood has a lively mix of cafes, shops and student-centred amenities and is close to several well-regarded schools and universities.
Buyers should note the flat is small and best suited to compact living; outdoor space is communal rather than private and parking is on-street only. The wider area is described as very deprived in some data sets, which may influence resale or rental prospects depending on buyer priorities.
