Clarendon Street, North Woodside G20

A Slice of Glasgow History – Exceptional Corner Apartment in the Former City Bakeries.

Occupying a superb third-floor corner position within one of the West End's most distinctive converted buildings, this impressive two-bedroom apartment extends to over 900 sq ft and combines generous proportions, excellent natural light and a fascinating piece of Glasgow's industrial heritage.

15 Clarendon Street is the former City Bakeries factory, an imposing Category B listed landmark dating principally from the 1920s. City Bakeries became one of Glasgow's great commercial success stories and, by the 1930s, had grown to more than 60 branches, becoming one of Britain's largest retail bakery businesses.

The Clarendon Street building formed an important part of its operation and remains instantly recognisable for its substantial red brick and sandstone exterior. Built using reinforced concrete to provide the large internal spaces required for commercial baking, the building was extended during the 1930s before eventually being sympathetically converted for residential use in the early 1990s. Today, it provides an unusual opportunity to live within a genuine piece of Glasgow history.

Positioned on the third floor, this particular apartment is an excellent example within the development. Its desirable corner position helps create a bright and airy interior, while the accommodation extends to over 900 sq ft and offers a particularly versatile layout that should appeal to first-time buyers, young professionals, students and families alike.

A broad and welcoming entrance hallway immediately gives a sense of the space on offer and provides access to no fewer than five separate storage cupboards – an exceptionally useful feature and something rarely found in modern apartments.

The main lounge is a fantastic living space, extending to over 15 feet and centred around a striking feature bay window that floods the room with natural light. One of the cleverest aspects of the layout is the set of double doors connecting the lounge directly with the dining kitchen. These can be opened to create a wonderfully sociable flow between the two rooms when entertaining, while still allowing each space to be closed off when required.

The dining kitchen itself is beautifully presented, fitted with a modern range of crisp white wall and floor-mounted units complemented by contrasting worktops, a stainless-steel sink and integrated hob and oven. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs, creating a relaxed space for everyday dining and entertaining.

There are two excellent double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly comfortable and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is also generously proportioned and provides excellent flexibility as a guest bedroom, children's room or substantial home office.

Completing the accommodation is a well-presented guest bathroom fitted with a fresh white three-piece suite and an electric shower over the bath.

Further benefits include lift access to all floors, well-maintained communal areas and highly valuable residents' parking, available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Clarendon Street occupies a fantastic position on the edge of Woodlands and the Park District, perfectly placed between Glasgow's thriving West End and the city centre. It is a location that offers the best of both worlds – close enough to walk into the city while having the cafés, restaurants, bars and independent businesses of the West End virtually on the doorstep.

Kelvingrove Park is within easy reach, providing acres of green space and a pleasant route towards the University of Glasgow, Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and the wider West End. Woodlands Road and nearby Great Western Road offer an eclectic mix of coffee shops, restaurants and everyday amenities, while the bars and restaurants of Finnieston are also easily accessible.

The area is particularly convenient for the University of Glasgow, Glasgow School of Art and the city centre, helping make it popular with students, academics and young professionals, while excellent public transport connections provide straightforward access throughout Glasgow.

Spacious, bright and full of character, this is an exceptional two-bedroom apartment offering over 900 sq ft of accommodation within a landmark Glasgow building – complete with lift access, residents' parking and a fascinating history that sets it apart from the typical West End flat.
