3 bed flat for sale

Melrose Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow G73

Details

Originally designed and built as Stonelaw High School by the renowned Glasgow architect James Jackson Craig around 1885, this striking landmark building was sympathetically converted and refurbished by Messrs Laurieston Homes in 2002 to form a unique collection of just twenty-nine apartments, set within beautifully maintained grounds in the heart of Rutherglen.

Now on the market is an outstanding upper duplex apartment of around 110 sq. M. (1,184 sq. Ft.), occupying a desirable corner position that affords double-aspect windows and open views across the surrounding district. Residents benefit from a renewed video-controlled door entry system, a truly breath-taking central atrium at the heart of the building, and the property comes with an allocated parking space.

The apartment itself is superbly presented, with tasteful décor, quality flooring throughout, and a number of notable upgrades. The kitchen has been modernised in recent years and offers a stylish range of units with a selection of integrated appliances, along with space for casual dining. The luxurious four-piece bathroom was fully re-fitted in 2024, complementing the en-suite shower room off the principal bedroom. Further benefits include double glazing and a mains gas central heating system.

The accommodation begins with a warm and welcoming reception hallway featuring a fitted store cupboard and staircase to the upper floor. The lounge makes an immediate impression with its generous double-aspect windows, flowing naturally into the dual-aspect dining room. From here, a versatile study or playroom provides additional flexibility for modern living. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped with a range of base and wall-mounted units, contrasting worktops, an inset sink, and integrated appliances including a washing machine, double eye-level oven, gas hob, and extractor hood.

Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two benefits from excellent in-built wardrobe storage, while the principal is further enhanced by its own en-suite shower room. Completing the upper level is the beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom.

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.

The Energy Performance rating on this property is Band C.
