A rare opportunity to acquire a generously proportioned three-bedroom period apartment with dining kitchen, set within a recently and comprehensively refurbished red sandstone tenement—an exceptional combination seldom available in such a highly sought-after tree-lined West End address. The leafy setting adds to the area’s charm and character, while offering an enhanced sense of privacy and exclusivity that makes this location so desirable.

Ideally positioned close to a wide array of local amenities and benefitting from excellent transport links into Glasgow City Centre, the property represents an outstanding purchase for discerning buyers.

Situated on the second floor of an imposing tenement, the apartment is accessed via a secure door-entry system and benefits from gas-fired central heating with a combination boiler and high-performance double glazing throughout. Externally, residents enjoy a well-maintained communal rear garden—complete with drying facilities and refuse storage—further enhancing both practicality and appeal.

The external refurbishment works, completed in 2024, were both extensive and meticulously executed. These included full roof and gutter replacement, comprehensive repointing of the sandstone façade, and complete refurbishment and redecoration of the communal close—all of which preserve and enhance the building’s period character.

The accompanying floor plan illustrates the generous proportions and well-considered layout. In summary, the accommodation comprises: entrance vestibule with twin storm doors; welcoming reception hallway with two store cupboards; a striking front-facing lounge with grand bay window, original cornicing, and walk-in recessed cupboard—enjoying elevated leafy aspects across the tree-lined street; and a thoughtfully designed dining-sized kitchen—fitted with quality wall and base units, integrated appliances, and recessed breakfast bar.

The principal double bedroom, positioned to the front, provides excellent space for freestanding furniture and benefits from similarly attractive views onto the mature tree canopy. A peaceful second double bedroom lies to the rear, while a third well-proportioned double bedroom is also positioned to the front, enjoying the same bright outlook. Completing the accommodation is a stylish bathroom—featuring a contemporary three-piece suite, full height tiling, and mixer shower over bath.
