Occupying a top-floor position within an attractive traditional red sandstone tenement, this beautifully presented two-bedroom flat enjoys an enviable setting in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant West End, with views overlooking Havelock Street.

Internally, the property is bright, stylish and full of character, seamlessly combining traditional features with a fresh, contemporary finish. A particular highlight is the impressive south-facing living room, where a broad bay window with refurbished sash and case double glazing provides attractive open views while flooding the room with natural light. Beautiful cornicing, a ceiling rose and exposed timber flooring add considerable period charm, while the open-plan arrangement with the kitchen creates a wonderfully sociable space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is neatly positioned to the rear of the living space and has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of shaker-style units, timber worktops and integrated appliances, providing excellent practicality without detracting from the proportions of the main room.

Both bedrooms are positioned quietly to the rear of the building. The principal bedroom is particularly comfortable and benefits from its own en-suite shower room with additional storage at ceiling level, while the second bedroom is also a generous double with a pleasant open outlook. The stylish, well-presented bathroom features a contemporary walk-in shower enclosure, alongside a cleverly integrated laundry area that makes excellent use of the available space.

The communal stair retains plenty of traditional character and is enhanced by an impressive glazed cupola above, while residents also have the benefit of access to a well-maintained communal garden to the rear. Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and secure door-entry.

The location is difficult to beat. Byres Road is synonymous with West End living, placing an outstanding selection of cafés, restaurants, bars and shops virtually on the doorstep. The University of Glasgow, Botanic Gardens and nearby green spaces are all within easy reach, while Hillhead Underground provides quick and convenient connections across the city.
