One thinks for instance of the iconic Sauchiehall Street, the wonderful GFT Cinema, Rennie Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art …all within a very short walk ….or Buchanan Street from its Shopping Centre/the adjacent Royal Concert Hall to the stylish Princes Square with its boutique shopping/restaurants, George Square, Glasgow Caledonian University …all within walking distance, whilst an easy/swift link to the M8 east or west is also a short distance away, take the bus or travel on Glasgow’s iconic Subway/Underground to the West End or South Side …this is true city centre convenience with an array of Glasgow destinations to choose from.
This Character Flat occupies 2nd Floor position within a traditional blonde sandstone tenement building, interestingly with a communal “turnpike” style staircase leading to each level. Internal viewing reveals accommodation which has potential to be re-configured to provide 2 Bedroom accommodation (subject to required planning permission/building warrant etc), presently comprising, reception hall with useful walk-in storage cupboard off (former wc closet), most appealing lounge with larger drop dual windows featuring timber panelled surrounds, separate kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and useful “internal” study/boxroom. Gas central heating is featured (noting a new boiler fitted during 2019). EPC – C. A communal security entry system is provided. On-street parking is available subject to local authority regulations/charges/permits.
Our client advises that the property has been owned by the same family for approx. 30 years, initially as a private home then as a successful property-let. They also advise there is currently a “pro-active” Residents Committee who have ensured the building is continually maintained, recently roof/guttering & stonework have all been attended to whilst the communal close/stairs were repainted last year.
In our view, a rare opportunity to acquire a desirable Traditional City Centre Flat with excellent development potential, available as a private home or investment/rental opportunity.

With its own private main door entrance to the front and a small private garden area to the rear, this charming home is of broad appeal, whether as main residence, holiday “bolthole” (which it has been for the current owner) or perhaps the buy-to-let/air bnb investor seeking an investment property for both income & potential capital growth.

The property retains considerable character & charm with the competitive price allowing scope for the successful purchaser to “refresh” the property to their own style/budget.

A shared pathway to the side leads to the rear garden which has a shared drying area whilst we understand a small private garden area to the rear & external outhouse are owned by the upper conversion (details to be confirmed from the Title Deeds).
Access to the upper conversion is via the front pathway/main entrance vestibule with the left hand door opening onto a broad straight staircase which leads to a particularly charming upper hallway with small open study area, from the hallway… to the front a most appealing bay windowed lounge enjoying elevated views over Bellevue Road, together with bedroom No 1, whilst to the rear… bedroom No 2 which is of larger double size, the breakfasting style kitchen which provides space for table/chairs, whilst the bathroom is situated off the upper hallway to the rear.
Much valued character is retained with traditional features including cornicing & fine panelled apartment doors.

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* A superb opportunity for the skilled “DIY’er” or those seeking a home which they can have professionally upgraded to their own style/budget …this very desirable “Attached” Traditional Red Sandstone fronted Bungalow is located within highly popular Prestwick, sought after for its vibrant town centre and proximity to the sweeping seafront/promenade.
This appealing home requires modernisation, notably offered for sale on a “Sold as Seen” basis following internal damage from a burst pipe, however the competitive price easily accommodates future refurbishment works.
Deceptive externally, internal viewing reveals 5 Main Apartments over 2 levels with the added benefit of a detached garage to the rear. The accommodation is best suited to use as 2 public (ground floor) & 3 bedrooms (on the upper level) …however one of the ground floor apartments has been utilised as an additional bedroom in the past.
Reading the Home Report reflects that the property has been left in a “shell like” state following the water damage however some considerable time has elapsed since and the property is presented dry with exposed timbers in the kitchen ceiling which was the main area of damage. The Sellers could have chosen to refurbish the property and then marketed at a substantial premium to its current price however the decision was made to offer the property for sale “as-seen” to allow the successful purchaser the opportunity to re-style to their own specification/budget.
The accommodation is accessed via a side main door entrance onto the reception hall which leads onto the ground floor apartments whilst a substantial staircase leads to the upper hallway. In particular, on ground floor – bay windowed lounge, separate larger dining/family room, separate kitchen with porch off. On the upper level, 3 bedrooms – the 2 larger “dormer windowed” bedrooms to the front (Nos 1 & 2) with a smaller 3rd bedroom to the rear whilst the bathroom is located off the upper hallway.
The specification includes both gas central heating & double glazing however please note the gas central heating system is untested/sold-as-seen. EPC – D. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, with the rear requiring attention. A lane style driveway to the rear leads to a detached garage whilst on-street parking is also available.
The Home Report notes a Mortgage Valuation for the property (in its present unrefurbished condition) of £155,000. The “Market Value” is expected to be higher. Please note once again that the property is “Sold-as-Seen” with no guarantees or warranties provided (we would advise for instance that the electrical wiring is further safety tested/inspected *replaced in areas perhaps* even although there has been considerable drying out time).
In our view, this style of home remains highly sought after by local buyers and particularly Glasgow based buyers seeking a change of lifestyle from city to seaside. Prestwick’s thriving town centre provides an interesting mix of shopping/amenities, a welcome contrast to typical repetitive high street offerings. The A79/A77 are a short car journey away from Whinfield Road providing convenient access North & South …and of course Prestwick promenade/seafront invites one to relax by-the-sea on calm summer days or stride out on bracing autumn/winter seafront walks when one can enjoy the seaspray!
The property remains very desirable and will no doubt appeal to the enthusiastic purchaser who embraces the unique opportunity this Charming Home provides…
