317 Glasgow Harbour Terraces, Glasgow Harbour, G11

Occupying a ninth-floor position within Glasgow Harbour Terraces, this spacious two-bedroom apartment has an outlook that immediately sets it apart. From the main living space and private balcony, the view stretches across the West End and beyond, giving the flat a sense of openness that is difficult to appreciate until you are standing in it.

The main living space makes the most of that position. Large windows run across much of the room, filling it with natural light and framing the view, while the generous proportions allow plenty of room for both sitting and dining. The kitchen is open to the room but positioned neatly to one side, creating a sociable layout without the kitchen taking over the living space.

Doors open directly from the living room onto the balcony, which runs along the outside of the apartment. At this height, it feels wonderfully open, with far-reaching views across Glasgow and towards the West End. It is a genuine extension of the living space and undoubtedly one of the best features of the flat.

There are two particularly generous double bedrooms, and unusually, both benefit from their own en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom has direct access to the balcony and plenty of room for additional furniture, while the second bedroom is large enough to comfortably accommodate two beds alongside a desk, making it equally useful as a guest bedroom, home office or shared room.

The accommodation is completed by a welcoming hallway with useful storage, while the building itself offers the convenience expected of a modern apartment development.

Another significant advantage is the secure, allocated parking space within the undercover residents’ car park. In this part of the city, having a space that is both private and protected from the weather is a very useful addition.

Glasgow Harbour has always offered something slightly different from the traditional tenements of the West End. Here, the emphasis is on modern, low-maintenance living, generous windows, lift access and private parking, while still being exceptionally well placed for everything nearby. The cafés, restaurants and shops of Finnieston, Partick and the wider West End are easily reached, with excellent road and public transport connections also close at hand.

For us, however, it is the position within the building that really makes this particular apartment. Nine floors up, with a substantial balcony and an open outlook across the city, it feels bright, spacious and surprisingly peaceful, while remaining firmly connected to the West End below.
