Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
UNDER OFFER AT CLOSING - Thursday 21st September 2023.

Arguably the best apartment on the whole Waterfront Development. If ever an address described accurately its location, then ‘Riverview Place’ perfectly reflects the location of this bright and spacious top floor, city apartment.

Its prime position on the complex, extending out at an angle from the main building, means that it has outstanding, uninterrupted views up and down the river. The river can be seen from every window.

Unlike any other *two bedroom apartments on the development, this apartment benefits from an additional room (which can be used as a *third [single] bedroom or study), a second, outside hall leading to the main entrance and floored loft space.

The additional room was used as a third bedroom with bunkbeds which proved ideal for children and visitors alike. This freed up the second [double] bedroom to be used as a dining room. However, with the increase in homeworking, this additional room could also be used as a study/office.

The floored loft space provides excellent additional storage space and further scope to be used as another functional room subject to appropriate regulations being met.

The apartment also benefits from virtually all-day sun: flooding the kitchen, master bedroom and single bedroom/study in the morning and the living room and second bedroom/dining room in the afternoon and evening.

Being the top floor apartment, and having no adjoining neighbours, it further benefits from being quiet and completely private. It is not overlooked by any other apartment.

Externally, this city centre apartment has the major benefit of ample (free) parking for apartment owners and visitors. Each apartment is permitted to use any two spaces with the ability to extend that number to cater for visitors as and when required. Parking is monitored, so spaces should always be available. The development has a cul-de-sac road layout which means that it cannot be used as a short cut to the city by commuting vehicles.

Another significant benefit of this apartment is its ‘parkland’ setting. This is a major ‘plus’ for a city centre apartment. There are extensive lawned areas and trees which provide a ‘countryside’ feel when walking through them. In addition, the walkway along the river is being significantly improved providing pleasant walking and easy access to the city centre shops, restaurants, Glasgow’s Financial Services District and neighbouring, state-of-the-art Barclays Campus.

For the above reasons, the purchaser of this apartment is buying much more than a simple ‘two-bedroom apartment’. They are buying an apartment which offers huge scope to tailor it to their needs, whether that is creating an apartment with a third bedroom, a study or to free up the second double bedroom to use as a dining room; all with the additional benefit of loft storage and a prime ‘parkland’ location with city centre parking on the Development.

No other two-bedroom apartment on the development (or, indeed, likely elsewhere in Glasgow) offers such scope and versatility.

The development was completed in the early 1990’s by Laing Homes and offers residents’ parking. (2 spaces) as well as easy walking access to the City Centre over the Squiggly Bridge, to the nearby Financial Services District, it sits adjacent to the new Barclays state-of-the-art campus and has West Street Underground Station only a few minutes’ walk away.

This top floor property is accessed via lift or stairs, it is well presented and spans over 751 sq ft. Features include a spacious open plan living/dining room with double balcony doors to slim balcony offering wonderful aspects over the River Clyde and city skyline beyond, off set there is a galley style kitchen with aspects east over the river and beyond, there are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, the main bedroom having an en suite shower room, there is a study/third (single) bedroom with angled walls and window, and a main bathroom. The property benefits floored loft storage accessed via a hatch in the entrance hall and spanning over the apartment. Upgrading of the quay wall is due to start which will be a fantastic asset to the locale, please ask for further details.

Accommodation:

• Security entry system; communal residents’ entrance with lift and stair access to each level.
• Private outer hallway.
• Inner reception hallway with storage cupboard.
• Open plan living/dining with double glazed sliding patio doors offering magnificent views over the river and beyond.
• Access to fitted kitchen which is complete with a range of base and wall mounted units with contrasting tile splashback and there is a window overlooking the river.
• Bedroom one is a double bedroom with carpeted flooring, window overlooking the River Clyde, generous integrated wardrobes and an en suite shower room with window.
• Bedroom two is a double bedroom with carpeted flooring and a window facing north over the river. This room was used as a dining room when the additional room was used as a bedroom for children and visitors.
• Study/third bedroom with angled walls and window.
• The main bathroom has a three-piece suite.
• The property has fresh décor, double glazing and electric heating system.
• Drying room on each level.

Situation:

The apartment is surrounded by gardens and is located on Riverview Place within the Waterfront Development on the south side of the river, adjacent to Glasgow’s City Centre and Financial Services District, an area of Glasgow which has benefitted from significant and ongoing redevelopment over the last few decades with a mix of both residential and commercial developments. It is ideally located for the neighbouring, new Barclays Wealth Hub currently being built at Buchanan Wharf nearby. This location offers easy walking access to the City Centre and Merchant City, where there is a wealth of amenities including both general and specialist shopping, wine bars and many highly acclaimed restaurants or head south into Shawlands where you will find a great selection of local business. The property is in proximity to Strathclyde & Caledonian Universities, the Glasgow School of Art, the SEC and The Clyde Auditorium. The area benefits from frequent public transport with easy access to Central and Queens Street Train Stations, West Street subway stations. Public transport and road links to the M8 & M74 motorway network are exceptional.

Travel Directions:

On foot from our office on Bath Street continue East, turning first right into West Campbell Street and proceed south eventually crossing over Argyle Street and continuing on to Robertson Street, at the end of Robertson Street cross over to the Clyde walkway and cross the Squiggly Bridge, continuing South on to Clyde Place and on to West Street. At the pedestrian lights, turn right into Kingston Street and follow the road west towards the Kingston Bridge, half way along the development on your right-hand side you can enter into the grounds and continue west where you will find No. 12 Riverview Place at the northwest most end of the development.
