Glasgow for Sale: Inside the 1,700 sq ft Hyndland tenement flat with a library wall and a wood burner

This property in Hyndland has gone on the market for £50,000 less than surveyors say it’s worth. The four-bedroom flat on Clarence Drive is listed for offers over £410,000, while its Home Report values it at £460,000.

The second-floor flat is in a red sandstone tenement that is around 125 years old, and it measures about 1,744 sq ft. A broad reception hall, painted deep green, leads to a run of large rooms with high ceilings and decorative cornicing.

The living room has a bay window looking along Falkland Street, an ornate ceiling rose, a wood-burning stove, and a wall of bespoke timber bookshelves that gives it the feel of a library. At the other end of the flat is a dining kitchen with white units, dark tiling, open shelving and room for a full dining table. Three tall windows look out over greenery and neighbouring playing fields.

All four bedrooms are doubles. The principal bedroom, at the front, is closer in size to a reception room. It has a bay window, ornate ceiling detailing, terracotta walls and parquet flooring. The bathroom was refitted last year with a rainfall shower over the bath, marble-effect tiles and brushed brass fittings.

Behind the building is a shared garden with a lawn, mature planting and a paved seating area. Hyndland Road’s cafés and shops are a short walk away, and Byres Road, the Botanic Gardens and Hyndland station are all close by.

In Scotland, asking prices are often set below the Home Report value to attract bids, so the final sale price may well end up above the £410,000 starting point.

The flat is being marketed by Yates Hellier. Rightmove’s mortgage calculator puts monthly repayments at about £2,050 with a 10 per cent deposit.
