A ground-floor flat at 21 Laurel Place in the Thornwood area of Glasgow, north of the River Clyde, is set to go under the hammer with a guide price of £65,000. The property is being sold through Auction House Scotland, which lists it as requiring comprehensive renovation throughout. The sellers state the flat offers excellent potential, whether for a developer, builder or someone looking to live there.
Property layout and potential
Inside, the flat is a traditional room and kitchen tenement style, with a lounge, a kitchen and a bathroom. There are bed recesses in the lounge and the kitchen, and the property could be converted into modern open-plan accommodation with a full bedroom, subject to relevant consents. Auction House Scotland suggests the kitchen could be turned into a proper bedroom, while the lounge could gain an open-plan kitchen.
The flat also has a reception hall with storage and a large corner bay window in the lounge that lets in natural light. The building features a security-controlled communal entrance hall.
Location and amenities
The flat is in a convenient location within walking distance of Partick, Hyndland and the West End. It benefits from strong transport links, including Partick railway station, subway and bus interchange, as well as easy access to the Clydeside Expressway and Clyde Tunnel.
The surrounding area offers a wide range of cafés, restaurants and pubs, along with supermarkets and other retail facilities. Victoria Park and Kelvingrove are also within easy reach.
