Property Description
A substantial three bedroom main door duplex home with a private garden and residents' parking, tucked away on a peaceful street in the New Gorbals and only a short walk over the Albert Bridge to Glasgow Green and the Merchant City.
Arranged over two levels, the accommodation has a substantial and homely feel more often associated with a house than an apartment. The ground floor centres on a long living room to the front, where a wide window has an elevated outlook over the street and hardwood flooring runs through to the dining area beyond. Glazed timber double doors link the two rooms and allow light to stretch through the home, while the dining area has patio doors opening onto a raised terrace with a leafy outlook across the garden.
The dining kitchen is fitted with white units, contrasting worktops and a slate tiled floor, along with a range cooker, space for a washing machine and fridge freezer, and a breakfast bar beside the window that makes a natural spot for morning coffee or homework after school. A ground floor W/C provides necessary convenience while two generous cupboards offer imperative storage provision.
A timber staircase rises to the first floor landing, where the three bedrooms enjoy genuine separation from the living accommodation below. The principal bedroom lies to the rear overlooking the garden and the trees beyond, while the two further bedrooms face the front with tall windows, and all three benefit from built in mirrored wardrobes. The family bathroom is tiled throughout and fitted with a white suite with shower over bath, while the upper landing has two further storage cupboards.
The private rear garden is accessed from the dining area by way of the raised terrace, with steps leading down to a low maintenance gravelled space with a paved path, planted borders and timber fencing, and a communal garden stretching beyond. The residents' parking space adds everyday convenience, and the street itself is notably quiet, with a genuine sense of community among neighbours.
Old Rutherglen Road forms part of the Crown Street Regeneration, the 1990s masterplan that brought traditional street patterns, modern tenements and private back gardens back to the Gorbals, and the area has since settled into a well established southside neighbourhood. St Francis' Primary School is on Old Rutherglen Road itself and Blackfriars Primary is on nearby Cumberland Street, while the Crown Street Retail Park and Richmond Park are both close at hand. Bridge Street subway station and Glasgow Central are within easy reach, and swift access to the M74 and M8 makes this an excellent base for commuting.
Having been witness to three decades of family life, this is a home that has served its owners well, and it now presents an ideal opportunity for a growing family seeking space, a garden of their own and the convenience of city living on the doorstep.
