About
Occupying a bright top-floor position within an attractive traditional blonde sandstone tenement, this generously proportioned two-bedroom flat offers an impressive amount of space, a wealth of period character and an excellent location on the edge of Glasgow’s West End and City Centre.
With substantial room sizes, high ceilings and open views from the rear, the property offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a traditional Glasgow home.
The impressive living room is a wonderfully bright and characterful space, with two large windows flooding the room with natural light.
High ceilings, intricate cornicing and an ornate ceiling rose are complemented by a particularly attractive traditional fireplace, while the generous proportions make this an inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining.
To the rear, the large dining kitchen provides excellent everyday living space, with a range of units, generous worktop space and room for a full-sized dining table.
A window to the rear provides an attractive elevated outlook across the surrounding rooftops towards some of Glasgow’s distinctive architecture, while the size of the room offers considerable potential for a future owner to modernise and create an impressive contemporary dining kitchen.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation and plenty of space for freestanding furniture.
The larger bedroom is particularly generous, while the second provides an equally useful space that could also lend itself well to use as a guest bedroom or home office if required.
The bathroom is fitted with a traditional white suite comprising bath with shower above, wash-hand basin and WC. Two useful storage cupboards elsewhere within the property add further practicality.
Externally, residents have access to a substantial shared rear garden, providing a welcome area of greenery in such a central location.
While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, its excellent proportions, original character and flexible layout provide a superb foundation from which to create a particularly impressive West End home.
Kent Road is exceptionally well positioned for enjoying both the West End and City Centre, with an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities available nearby.
Finnieston, Kelvingrove Park, the University of Glasgow and the cultural attractions surrounding Kelvingrove are all within easy reach, while the City Centre can also be reached conveniently on foot or by public transport.
Excellent road and transport connections make this an ideal base for those commuting throughout Glasgow and beyond.
