About this home

Fixed Price £5,000 below Home Report Value.

Within the celebrated Herald Building on Albion Street, this sixth floor one bedroom loft style apartment enjoys broad wall to wall windows and a captivating outlook to the front.

The living room is commanded by a run of wall to wall white framed glazing with a deep sill, beneath soaring ceilings. The outlook is open and elevated, across landscaped lawns towards the University of Strathclyde's Technology and Innovation Centre, with hills visible on the horizon beyond the city. The room extends back to a dining area and comfortably accommodates a variety of furniture arrangements, while wood effect flooring runs throughout the apartment.

The kitchen opens from the dining area and is fitted with white gloss wall and base units, black worktops and a black mosaic tiled splashback. There is an integrated oven, electric hob with extractor, integrated fridge freezer, stainless steel sink with drainer and under cabinet lighting.

The bedroom is a comfortable double that shares the full width glazing and outlook. A full height timber sliding partition allows it to open onto the living room or close off for complete privacy, with a separate door to the hallway and a built in wardrobe with mirrored and opaque glass sliding doors. The bathroom is finished in white tiling with a bath and shower over, a mirrored wall with cabinets, and a utility cupboard housing appliances behind sliding doors. A further storage cupboard opens from the hallway.

The Herald Building was completed in 1937 as the Glasgow home of Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, to a design attributed to the engineer Sir Owen Williams, and was later occupied by The Herald. Now Category A listed, its conversion created loft style apartments that make the most of the original ceiling heights and continuous glazing, with lift access and a residents' roof terrace.

Albion Street places the apartment among the restaurants, bars and boutiques of the Merchant City, with Buchanan Street and George Square a short walk away. Queen Street and Central stations are both close at hand, and with the University of Strathclyde on the doorstep, the apartment is an excellent choice for professionals, academics and investors, as well as first time buyers looking for a characterful city centre base.
