Description

Occupying a second top floor position within an attractive red sandstone tenement at the crest of Fergus Drive, this traditional one-bedroom apartment enjoys a particularly peaceful setting, beautiful open views and tremendous potential for the next owner to unlock. Benefitting from access to exceptionally well-maintained south-facing residents' gardens, the property will appeal to those seeking a fairly priced traditional home in one of the West End's most desirable districts.

Fergus Drive is regarded as one of North Kelvinside's most attractive addresses, known for its handsome tenement architecture, peaceful atmosphere and mature, leafy surroundings. Properties within this section of the street are especially sought-after due to their privacy and tranquillity, while the upper floor apartments enjoy particularly attractive outlooks over the treetops that frame the rear perimeter of the residents' gardens.

The location could hardly be more convenient. Queen Margaret Drive, with its excellent collection of independent cafés, restaurants, delicatessens and local businesses, is just a short walk away, while Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Byres Road can both be reached on foot in a matter of minutes. The University of Glasgow is also within easy walking and cycling distance, making this an ideal base for students, academics and professionals alike.

The property itself retains a highly functional traditional layout which is synonymous with Victorian architecture and offers excellent scope for upgrading to suit modern tastes. Given the generous proportions and arrangement of accommodation, purchasers may also wish to explore the potential for conversion into a two-bedroom layout, subject to any necessary consents.

In brief, the accommodation extends to an entrance hall with large storage cupboard, a bright bay-window living room with additional walk-in storage cupboard, a comfortable king-sized bedroom, a dining kitchen with generous dining recess and a bathroom fitted with a white suite and shower over bath.
One of the property's most appealing features is its elevated position, which affords lovely open aspects to the rear. From the kitchen, views extend across the mature trees of the residents' gardens towards the striking spire of Glasgow University's Gilbert Scott Building, creating a beautiful focal point and a constant reminder of the property's enviable West End location.

Offering charm, potential and an outstanding location, this is a traditional tenement apartment that provides an excellent opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Glasgow's most enduringly popular neighbourhoods.
