1 bed flat for sale

Firpark Terrace, Dennistoun, Glasgow G31

Details

This rather impressive south-facing one-bedroom flat offers generous room dimensions and a particularly stylish interior. Positioned at the head of a quiet no-through road, the property occupies a preferred first-floor position and enjoys open views from both the lounge and bedroom. Despite its peaceful setting, the flat is highly convenient, located just over a mile from Strathclyde University and Glasgow city centre.

The handsome tenement buildings on Firpark Terrace date back to 1875 and are steeped in history. Number Two, situated on the southern edge of the terrace, was once home to Scotland’s most celebrated architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who lived here for seventeen years between 1875 and 1892.

The flat currently for sale is smartly presented throughout and retains many attractive original features, including stripped and sanded floorboards, a decorative fireplace, and ornate cornicing within the lounge. These period details are complemented by modern comforts such as a contemporary fitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing, and gas-fired central heating powered by a Sabre combination boiler. Quality flooring and fresh, tasteful décor throughout further enhance the sense of a true turnkey opportunity for the incoming buyer.

The accommodation comprises a warm and welcoming reception hallway, complete with a walk-in storage cupboard and access to all apartments. To the front of the property lies a bright and inviting formal lounge, where three near full-height windows frame impressive open views across the city. Adjacent is a generous double bedroom, also benefitting from the south-facing aspect.

To the rear of the flat is the dining kitchen, often described as the hub of the home. It features a range of base and wall-mounted storage units, an integrated oven and hob, and space for a freestanding fridge freezer as well as a table and chairs. A useful additional store cupboard houses the boiler and provides space and plumbing for a washing machine. Leading off the kitchen is a valuable home office or study - ideal for those seeking a dedicated space for home working. A well-appointed three-piece bathroom completes the accommodation.

Externally, the property benefits from well-maintained residents’ gardens to the rear, while access to the building is secured via a controlled door entry system.

Conveniently positioned, the building sits just over one mile from the centre of town and the University of Strathclyde. Locally, there is a variety of recreational pursuits including a gymnasium, Alexandra Park and golf course, library and much more. Day-to-day shopping can be found within walking distance along with a range of restaurants, cafes, and bars. Public transport includes bus and rail links to Glasgow and Edinburgh City Centres together with excellent access to the central belt motorway network.
