Flat 24, 2 Melrose Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

Originally designed and built as Stonelaw High School by the celebrated Glasgow architect James Jackson Craig around 1885, this impressive sandstone landmark was tastefully converted by Messrs Laurieston Homes in 2002 into an exclusive collection of just twenty-nine apartments, set within beautifully maintained grounds in the heart of Rutherglen.

Occupying a prime corner position and enjoying attractive open views, this exceptionally stylish duplex apartment is set over the second and third floors, offering generous, well-balanced accommodation presented in true walk-in condition.

The specification is of a high standard throughout, with fresh contemporary décor and quality floor coverings enhancing the overall finish. The modern, well-appointed kitchen features a range integrated appliances, while the bathroom has been smartly re-fitted to create a sleek, contemporary space. Comfort is ensured by gas-fired central heating and double glazing, and a recently renewed video-controlled door entry system provides additional security. The building itself boasts an impressive central residents’ atrium, as well as a secure bike store, a designated parking space, and ample visitor parking.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway with two useful storage cupboards and a staircase leading to the upper level. The lounge is a particularly bright and spacious principal apartment, benefitting from windows to both the front and side, which flood the room with natural light. Positioned adjacent, the breakfasting-sized kitchen is well equipped with a range of base and wall mounted units and integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, washing machine, electric oven, and gas hob.

Upstairs, the landing gives access to two generously proportioned bedrooms, both complete with fitted wardrobes providing excellent shelf and hanging space. A stylishly appointed, three-peice bathroom completes the upper level.

Overall, this is a superbly presented home, combining space, style, and a desirable position within a well-maintained development.

The property is quietly situated in this sought-after pocket of Rutherglen and is conveniently placed for access to a host of local amenities including schools at both primary and secondary levels, shops, and public transport services. The nearby Rutherglen Main Street and Stonelaw Road provide a more extensive range of amenities including supermarkets, bars, restaurants, and train stations for easy commuting to Glasgow City Centre and the surrounding areas. In addition to this, there are excellent road links close by giving easy access to Glasgow City Centre and the Central Belt motorway network system.
