A warm, quiet top-floor retreat above the Clyde
A newly refurbished tenement flat five minutes from the Hydro, with a woodburning stove, high ceilings, and a window seat looking out over the Finnieston Crane.
Traditional tenement charm, upgraded for year-round comfort
Set on the top floor of a Finnieston tenement, this one-bedroom flat pairs high ceilings and elevated views with a full 2025 refurbishment — triple glazing, internal wall insulation and engineered oak flooring mean it stays calm and comfortable whatever the Glasgow weather is doing.
From the living room window seat you can watch the Finnieston Crane and the Hydro across the Clyde, woodburning stove going, city on your doorstep but the flat itself properly quiet.
You're in the middle of Finnieston's café culture and nightlife, with Kelvingrove Park, the West End and the city centre all within easy reach — and Lidl directly across the street for the essentials.

Beautifully furnished and spotless, in a neighbourhood that felt completely safe — walking distance to bars, cafés and the train.
We got two days of remote work done from the window seat, doors thrown open to the sun — the location couldn't be beaten for cafés, park and pubs.
Superbly renovated — a brilliant kitchen, huge TV, comfortable bed — and properly quiet despite sitting right in the middle of Finnieston's restaurant strip.
Cosy, loved the fireplace, lovely views — we'll be back.
Based here for a conference at the SEC — immaculate, high-end finish, and Ricky sorted an early check-in without any fuss.
Great for a proper neighbourhood feel when travelling for work — morning runs through Kelvingrove Park right from the door.
On the doorstep
Right in the heart of Finnieston

Between the city and the water, with history on the doorstep
Finnieston has become Glasgow's most talked-about neighbourhood — a tight cluster of independent restaurants, cocktail bars and coffee roasters sitting neatly between the city centre and the West End.
The skyline is still shaped by the area's shipbuilding past. The Finnieston Crane, an enormous cantilever crane built in 1931 to load locomotives and heavy machinery onto ships bound across the world, still stands over the Clyde as the last of its kind — a working reminder of Glasgow's years as the Second City of the Empire.
Further along the quay you'll find the Scottish Event Campus and the Clyde Arc, and a short walk brings you to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the Riverside Museum, two of the city's best free days out.
175ft cantilever crane, built 1931 — the last of its kind on the Clyde.
22 galleries, including Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross.
Zaha Hadid-designed home of Glasgow's transport collection — 3,000+ exhibits, plus the tall ship Glenlee.
Glasgow's events campus and the city's landmark curved bridge, both a short walk along the quay.
Well connected, on foot or by rail
