Inside the one bedroom Glasgow flat more expensive than a five bedroom detached house

A one-bedroom flat in Glasgow has gone up for sale for the hefty price of £375,000, which could also pay for a five-bedroom house near the city — and then some.

The modern and attractive property is located in the old Templeton Carpet Factory overlooking Glasgow Green.

Other flats in the historic building have fetched similarly high prices in the past.

The listing on Rightmove states: "This exceptional loft conversion occupies a wonderful position on the first floor of Templeton Court, a beautifully considered renaissance of a Victorian carpet factory.

"Sitting on the eastern fringe of Glasgow Green, this capacious one-bedroom apartment unfolds over approximately 1346 sq ft and balances its industrial past with fastidiously detailed contemporary insertions.

"The soaring internal living spaces are cleverly and dynamically exploited, and walls of windows afford far-reaching tree-lined vistas. The apartment has a dedicated parking space and lies close to the city centre, amid a plenitude of cafes, pubs and restaurants."

The property has many steel features, which give it a contemporary edge, balanced with oak herringbone parquet flooring.

After passing through an L-shaped entrance hall, the main space in the apartment is a bright and airy open-plan living room and kitchen, with features high ceilings and concrete worktops.

A bespoke metal circular staircase climbs up to a large mezzanine level which sits atop the kitchen.

It is currently used as a home office, library and party space, featuring a hidden jib door which gives access to a poker room.

While there were previously two double bedrooms in the property, these have since been combined into a large "luxurious main suite".

This bedroom comes with an en-suite shower which is lined with micro-cement, though there is also a "bespoke, hand-crafted bath" in the second bathroom.

Meanwhile, also available to purchase on Rightmove, is a detached five-bedroom house in Kirktonfield Crescent for just £250,000 — £125,000 cheaper than the one-bedroom flat.

Located in Neilston, a small village on the outskirts of Glasgow, it may not be as handy for those who like the conveniences of living in the city but it could be perfect for those craving a slightly quieter life.

The village was also previously named the 'most desirable' postcode to live in Scotland.

The house itself is large and spacious, and comes with an "expansive back garden".

The listing continues: "Internally, the property consists of a gorgeous, designer kitchen with ample worktop & cupboard space.

"The open plan layout allows a natural flow to the spacious lounge & dining area, with contemporary panelling & fireplace features. Sliding doors let in plenty of light & lead to the impressive garden."

Also on the first floor is a "stylish WC" and the first of the five bedrooms, which is currently being utilised as a "very generously sized" home office.

Upstairs features a large master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a further three "well-proportioned" bedrooms — as well as a "luxurious three-piece suite bathroom complete with free standing bath".

Externally, the property comes with a double driveway and a large shed and covered area, "complete with electricity which is perfect for a hot tub or simply a sheltered area for relaxing".
