We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
2/2, 409 Great Western Road is a beautifully proportioned and highly versatile three-bedroom apartment, occupying a prominent second-floor position within an elegant blonde sandstone tenement in the heart of Kelvinbridge – one of Glasgow’s most sought-after West End neighbourhoods.
Positioned on the corner of Great Western Road and Park, this charming home enjoys an enviable setting with open aspects and excellent natural light.
The accommodation is both generous and thoughtfully arranged, providing a seamless balance of traditional character and modern comfort.
At its heart lies an impressive corner lounge – a welcoming space of considerable scale, enhanced by dual-aspect windows and a period-style fireplace that creates a distinctive focal point.
The apartment comprises three well-sized double bedrooms, the principal of which benefits from a cleverly designed en suite shower room.
A modern dining kitchen is positioned to the rear, appointed with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances, while a contemporary main shower room – stylishly finished – completes the accommodation.
Throughout, the interior is smartly presented, with high ceilings, detailed cornicing and large sash windows contributing to a wonderfully bright and airy feel.
Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, and two useful storage cupboards located off the reception hallway.
The property is offered with vacant possession, allowing for a straightforward and swift entry. Please note, all furnishings are available by way of separate negotiation.
Kelvinbridge itself is a vibrant and highly desirable part of the West End, known for its distinctive mix of architecture and community feel.
The area offers immediate access to a wide selection of independent shops, bars, restaurants and cafés, including popular names such as Paesano Pizza, Cottonrake Bakery, Roots Fruits & Flowers, and La Lanterna.
Farrow & Ball and other boutique retailers add to the neighbourhood’s character, while the River Kelvin Walkway, Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park provide excellent green spaces just a short stroll away.
Educational facilities are a key draw for the area, with private schooling available at The Glasgow Academy on Great Western Road, and a number of highly regarded local primary and secondary schools nearby.
The University of Glasgow, one of the UK’s most prestigious institutions, is situated just off Byres Road on University Avenue and is easily reached on foot or by public transport.
The area is also exceptionally well connected.
Kelvinbridge Underground Station is just minutes away, and there are frequent bus and rail links to Glasgow City Centre and beyond, making this a perfect base for both professionals and families.
This is a fine example of a traditional West End apartment, ideally placed for city living in a vibrant and well-connected setting. EPC Rating: C Council Tax Band: C
