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
Occupying a superb first-floor position within an elegant blonde sandstone terrace, this impressive two-bedroom flat enjoys a particularly desirable setting in the heart of Dowanhill.
The property offers exceptional proportions, beautiful period detailing and wonderfully bright accommodation, complemented by a number of thoughtful improvements carried out by the current owners.
The living room is undoubtedly one of the standout spaces, with impressive proportions and a broad bay window drawing an abundance of natural light into the room while framing an attractive leafy outlook.
Intricate decorative cornicing and ornate ceiling plasterwork provide a wonderful sense of period character, while the recently installed fireplace creates a handsome focal point.
The sheer scale of the room allows considerable flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, the substantial dining kitchen provides another particularly impressive space.
Contemporary units are complemented by contrasting worktops, glass splashbacks and integrated appliances, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate a large dining table.
Tall windows and a charming window seat take full advantage of the open outlook across the surrounding rooftops towards the University and city beyond.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from the excellent ceiling heights and natural light found throughout the property.
The bathroom has also been recently upgraded and is finished in a fresh contemporary style with a generous walk-in shower.
Additional benefits include traditional sash and case windows, carefully reconditioned and upgraded with double glazing, gas central heating and secure door entry.
Overall, this is an exceptionally appealing Dowanhill flat which successfully combines the scale and architectural character of a traditional West End home with a comfortable modern specification.
The large social spaces, open views and unusually private setting are particular highlights.
Marchmont Terrace is ideally positioned for everything the West End has to offer, with Hyndland Road, Byres Road and Great Western Road all within easy reach.
An outstanding selection of independent cafés, restaurants, delicatessens and shops can be found nearby, together with the University of Glasgow, Botanic Gardens and excellent public transport connections to Glasgow City Centre and beyond.
