Description

A beautifully maintained and spacious three-bedroom fifth floor apartment within the iconic Kelvin Court, one of Glasgow's most celebrated residential landmarks. Extending to more than 1,500 square feet, this substantial home offers wonderfully bright and feature-filled accommodation with magnificent open outlooks, all within a building widely regarded as Glasgow's first luxury apartment development.

Designed by renowned architects James Newton Fatkin and completed in 1938, Kelvin Court remains a defining example of Art Deco architecture in Glasgow. Instantly recognisable through its distinctive H-shaped design and elegant façade, the development continues to be admired for its architectural significance, generous proportions and enduring sense of community.

The apartment itself has been a much-loved family home for many years and has been meticulously maintained throughout. The accommodation is accessed from impressive reception hall and benefits from a highly practical and versatile layout extending to two substantial public rooms, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a dining kitchen and bathroom accommodation.

Particularly notable are the wonderful living and entertaining spaces. The living room is flooded with natural light, especially in the afternoon. From the living room, French doors with coloured glass lead through to a separate dining room, which provides excellent additional reception space, making the property equally suited to both everyday family life and more formal entertaining. The dining room could also become a fourth bedroom if required.

The bedroom accommodation is generous in scale, consistent with the classical proportions for which Kelvin Court is renowned. The apartment's elevated fifth-floor position ensures an abundance of natural light throughout, while also affording superb open outlooks. To the north-west, there are attractive views across the surrounding district with glimpses towards the Kilpatrick Hills in the distance. Looking Eastward from the balcony, along Great Western Road there is a charming, constantly changing vista – which is particularly lovely in spring when the central cherry blossom trees burst into life & colour.

The property has a particularly impressive four-piece main bathroom with white suite including a substantial shower enclosure. For guests there is a separate WC too.

Kelvin Court has undergone extensive refurbishment in recent years, with these significant works more or less complete. Residents enjoy security entry, lift access, beautifully maintained communal gardens and a particularly convenient location close to Anniesland Cross, where an excellent selection of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities can be found. Anniesland Railway Station is within easy walking distance, providing fast links across Glasgow, while major road networks including the Clyde Tunnel, Clydeside Expressway and M8 motorway are readily accessible.

Altogether, this is an outstanding apartment of genuine scale and character, occupying a prime position within one of Glasgow's most important and architecturally distinguished residential developments. Having been a happy and cherished home for decades, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period apartment with exceptional views, beautifully maintained accommodation and a highly regarded address.
