Sauchiehall Street, Charing Cross, Glasgow, G2 3JU

Few Glaswegian landmarks carry the presence of the iconic Beresford Building, and this first floor apartment within it pairs two double bedrooms and two bathrooms with some of the highest ceilings in the building.

Originally built as a hotel for visitors to the 1938 Empire Exhibition, the Beresford was converted into 112 apartments in 2006 and has since undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, with roof works and a full exterior render restoring its striking white and red frontage, along with a newly installed lift. Residents enter through an impressive art deco foyer with a concierge on hand during weekday office hours, and the apartment itself is reached from a walkway looking down over the planted residents’ courtyard.

The open plan living room, dining area and kitchen is a substantial space, with tall windows, wood effect flooring and exceptional room to accommodate a multitude of uses and layouts. The kitchen is fitted neatly into one end of the room and has a run of grey wall and base units stretching wall to wall, with a white tiled splashback and integrated appliances. Underfloor heating runs throughout the apartment, so there are no radiators to work around and every wall is left free for furniture.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles positioned at opposite ends of the apartment, lending genuine separation and rendering the layout well suited to sharers or anyone in need of dedicated work from home space. The principal bedroom has a fitted storage cupboard and its own en suite shower room, while the family bathroom has a bath with shower over, adding convenience for busy mornings. The apartment has been well kept and is presented in a largely neutral palette, leaving scope for the next owner to add their own touches over time.

Sauchiehall Street has been transformed through the city’s Avenues Project, with tree lined pavements and cycle lanes now running past the door, and there is a Tesco Express on the ground floor of the building for everyday shopping. Charing Cross station is on the doorstep, with Central and Queen Street stations a short walk away, while Finnieston and the West End are within easy reach for restaurants, bars and independent shops. The Glasgow School of Art, the Royal Conservatoire and the city’s universities are all close by, making this an appealing purchase for young professionals, parents of students and investors alike, and the M8 provides straightforward commuting across the Central Belt.
