Description

This property is being offered to cash purchasers only and will be sold on a strictly sold-as-seen basis. Any offer must be accompanied by satisfactory, guaranteed and independently verifiable proof of funds.

Mitchells Sales & Lettings Glasgow are delighted to present this genuinely rare opportunity to acquire the substantial ground-floor lower conversion of an impressive pre-1919 blonde sandstone villa, occupying an elevated position at the end of a peaceful residential no-through road within the highly sought-after Mount Florida district of Glasgow.

The accommodation requires complete conversion, refurbishment and modernisation throughout. However, its excellent proportions and flexible footprint provide tremendous potential for an experienced developer, investor or private purchaser wishing to create an individual home finished entirely to their own specification.

Once fully converted and refurbished, the lower accommodation could potentially be transformed into a stunning two-bedroom apartment comprising two well-proportioned bedrooms and an impressive lounge with an open-plan kitchen and dining area.

The proposed open-plan arrangement could create a bright, spacious and sociable heart to the home, combining cooking, dining and relaxation areas within one contemporary living space. When paired with two bedrooms and a modern bathroom, the completed property could provide an exceptional home for a professional couple, small family, downsizer or first-time buyer.

The ground-floor position may prove particularly attractive to buyers looking for accommodation with fewer internal stairs, while the property's traditional sandstone character, generous proportions and peaceful setting distinguish it from more conventional modern apartments.

For developers and investors, this is an opportunity to create a highly individual two-bedroom home within an established Southside market. Any anticipated resale value, rental income or investment return must be independently assessed by the purchaser.

The suggested layout is conceptual only. No representation is made that the lower conversion is presently a completed, approved or independently titled two-bedroom apartment.

Mount Florida and the Glasgow Southside

Mount Florida is one of Glasgow's most established and desirable Southside neighbourhoods, valued for its traditional architecture, strong community atmosphere and excellent accessibility.

Cathcart Road and the surrounding area offer a varied selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bakeries, delicatessens, shops, supermarkets and essential everyday services.

The neighbouring districts of Battlefield, Shawlands, Strathbungo and Queen's Park are all within convenient reach, providing access to an even wider selection of restaurants, leisure facilities and independent businesses.

Queen's Park and Cathkin Park provide accessible green space, walking routes and recreational opportunities, while Hampden Park-Scotland's National Stadium-is also nearby. The surrounding area can experience increased activity, traffic and parking restrictions during major sporting and entertainment events.

Schooling

The property is well placed for access to primary and secondary schooling throughout Mount Florida and the wider Glasgow Southside.

Independent-school options accessible from the area include Hutchesons' Grammar School in nearby Pollokshields and The Glasgow Academy's Newlands campus. St Aloysius' College, The High School of Glasgow, Kelvinside Academy and The Glasgow Academy's main campus can also be reached through Glasgow's road and public transport network.

School catchment areas and admission arrangements can change. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with Glasgow City Council and their preferred schools.

Transport and Connectivity

Mount Florida railway station is conveniently located nearby and provides regular services to Glasgow Central, with an average journey time of approximately 12 minutes.

Regular bus services operate along Cathcart Road and surrounding routes, providing connections to Glasgow city centre and neighbouring Southside districts.

For motorists, convenient access is available to the M74 and onward connections with the M8, M73 and M77. These routes provide practical travel throughout Greater Glasgow, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Scotland's central belt, including connections towards Edinburgh.

Additional Ground

An additional area of adjoining ground is presently held under a separate lease with Network Rail.

Subject to Network Rail's approval, the terms of the existing lease and agreement between all relevant parties, there may be an opportunity for the incoming owner to obtain the use and benefit of some or all of this ground for an annual ground rent.

No right to the additional ground is guaranteed as part of the lower-conversion sale. Prospective purchasers must instruct their solicitor to confirm whether any interest in the ground can be transferred or allocated to the lower property.

Important Title, Planning and Condition Information

The lower accommodation does not presently have a separate legal title from the remainder of the villa but this can be obtained if the property is to be sold as two individual units.

Any individual sale will be conditional upon the successful creation and registration of a separate title. Appropriate arrangements will also require to be established for access, services, insurance, common repairs, external maintenance and any shared areas.

The proposed two-bedroom layout, lounge and open-plan kitchen and dining room represent one possible future configuration only. The plans have not been presented as approved or guaranteed.

Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves through their solicitor, architect, surveyor, structural engineer and Glasgow City Council regarding the condition of the property, creation of a separate title and feasibility of all proposed works.

Viewing and Offer Arrangements

For a buyer with imagination, experience and ambition, this is an exceptional opportunity to create a stunning two-bedroom ground-floor home within one of Glasgow's most desirable Southside locations.
