This top-floor three-bedroom flat on Drakemire Avenue offers straightforward, low-maintenance living or a ready-made let in a well-connected suburb of Glasgow. The accommodation includes three genuine double bedrooms, a bright lounge with a balcony, and a practical shower room — compact and easy to manage at 666 sq ft. Freehold tenure and cheap council tax add to the affordability.
The property’s strengths are clear for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: clear rental appeal, good mobile signal and fast broadband, and a secure entry system. Communal outdoor space and proximity to local shops, pharmacies and bus links make day-to-day life convenient. The building’s mid-20th-century construction provides simple, robust accommodation rather than designer finishes.
Be upfront about the trade-offs. The flat sits in a very deprived area and a wider “challenged transitionaries” locality classification, which may affect resale values and tenant demand profiles. The overall size is small for a three-bedroom home and there’s a single shower room; buyers should budget for any modernisation or service checks before moving in.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry to the Glasgow market or landlords wanting a practical, lettable unit, this flat represents a clear, economical option. It’s best suited to those prioritising location and running costs over high-end finishes.
