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 an enviable position within one of the area’s most peaceful yet highly convenient addresses, this particularly appealing two-bedroom apartment features a substantial dining kitchen and enjoys a superb setting at the end of an elegant, curving terrace.
The property benefits from wonderful open aspects over beautifully maintained, semi-circular residents’ gardens, to which it has access.
When combined with its proximity to Hyndland’s excellent amenities, and its location within a mile of both Glasgow University and Byres Road, the strength of the opening statement becomes clear.
While some conversions can feel compromised due to their origins within subdivided townhouses, this example is a notable exception.
The property offers generous, well-balanced accommodation with square, well-proportioned principal apartments, excellent ceiling height, a welcoming reception hall, and valuable purpose-built storage.
Thanks to its favourable orientation and elevated third-floor position, the apartment is filled with natural light and offers an excellent degree of privacy.
Its gable-end setting allows for additional windows, including natural light within the hallway—an increasingly rare and desirable feature that further sets this home apart.
As demonstrated in the marketing materials, the apartment is both comfortable and well-appointed, having been carefully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, with the sash and case windows in the property having been replaced with bespoke double glazed equivalents.
As such, it is presented in true walk-in condition.
The accommodation comprises: entrance hall with storage cupboard, an attractive living room with beautiful views over the residents’ gardens, a substantial dining kitchen with integrated appliances, a generous principal bedroom, a spacious second bedroom, and a luxurious main bathroom complete with a four-piece suite and a striking double vanity unit.
