Set within a handsome 1865 sandstone building by Alexander Thomson, this large one-bedroom first-floor apartment combines generous Victorian proportions with practical modern comforts. High ceilings, sash-style triple windows and original cornicing give the living room strong character and abundant natural light, while wooden floors and a marble fireplace enhance the period feel.
The galley kitchen overlooks the well-kept shared residents’ garden and offers space for a breakfast bar. The double bedroom is roomy and the bathroom is finished to a good standard. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, on-street permit parking (Glasgow City Council), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for working from home or students.
Important facts: the property sits in a neighbourhood popular with students and commuters, with close access to Byres Road, Hillhead Underground and Glasgow University. Energy efficiency is EER Band D. Local area classification and official data indicate significant deprivation in parts of the wider area, which may affect resale or rental dynamics and local services.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a city pied-à-terre with strong character; it also offers straightforward rental potential given the location. Buyers should note the mixed socioeconomic nature of the area, and that older buildings can demand ongoing maintenance to retain original features.
