82 Kelvin Court, Glasgow, G12 0AQ

For generations of Glaswegians, Kelvin Court has represented a particular kind of West End living.

Built on a grand scale and occupying a prominent position above Great Western Road, it became especially well known as the place people moved to when the family house had become too large, but they weren’t quite ready to compromise on space, outlook or location.

Adding further to its appeal, the property sits within the List 1 catchment area for Jordanhill School, making its location particularly attractive for families seeking access to one of Glasgow’s most highly regarded schools.

With lift access serving all levels, residents can enjoy the proportions and presence of a substantial Glasgow home without the stairs and upkeep that often come with one.

Add residents’ parking and beautifully maintained communal grounds, and Kelvin Court remains particularly well suited to those looking to downsize without feeling they are downsizing their lifestyle.

Sitting on the top floor, this particular apartment occupies an especially good position within the building.

Its elevated setting gives it an unusual sense of privacy, with wide, open views stretching far beyond the immediate rooftops.

On a clear day, the current owners tell us they can see as far as Goat Fell on Arran. The balcony is another rarity.

Accessed directly from the living room, it creates a wonderful little outdoor space high above the city and makes the most of the apartment’s open outlook.

The current owners have lived here for around ten years and are only leaving as they move abroad.

During their ownership they have steadily upgraded the apartment, including a new kitchen and bathrooms, fitted wardrobes, new carpets and blinds and redecoration.

The accommodation itself is particularly generous. A large living room forms the heart of the flat, with broad windows drawing in plenty of natural light and access directly onto the balcony.

The modern kitchen sits separately alongside, while the two bedrooms are both good sized doubles.

The master bedroom is especially impressive in scale, with extensive fitted storage and a broad bay window. There is also a modern bathroom, separate WC and useful storage throughout.

Beyond the apartment, Kelvin Court has benefited from significant investment in recent years.

The roof has been fully replaced and a comprehensive programme of works to the building’s façade is currently underway, with the rear elevation already completed.

These substantial works represent an important period of renewal for one of Glasgow’s most recognisable residential buildings and should provide welcome reassurance for its next generation of owners.

Residents benefit from parking within the development and lift access throughout, while the location puts almost everything within easy reach.

Great Western Road and Byres Road are close by, together with the cafés, restaurants and shops of the West End, excellent public transport connections and straightforward access into the city centre.
