5/1, 15 Templeton Court, Glasgow Green, Glasgow, G40 1EF

A beautiful taste of New York style loft living in Glasgow’s iconic Grade A listed Templeton Court to the design of the Glasgow icon William Leiper.  Templeton Court takes its inspiration from Venice’s Palazzo Ducale (The Doge’s Palace) with its elaborate Gothic façade, decorative brick, and glass mosaic.  The building was designed to conceal its industrial inside from its façade and was home to the very famous Templeton’s and Sons carpet factory right up until the 1980’s.  The building has been cleverly readapted from its industrial past to modern loft style apartments with a mix at ground level of offices, bars, and workshops.

The internal accommodation comprises; a gorgeous open plan lounge/ kitchen with double height ceiling and a feature spiral staircase leading top the mezzanine and outdoor space. The kitchen is fitted with quality units and integrated appliances and is cleverly screened from the living area whilst still making it a perfect space for entertaining. The lounge has space for a dining table and chairs as well as a casual sitting area. The spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine landing which could be a great home office, which in turn has double doors onto the incredible private rooftop terrace- a great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

There are two well proportioned double bedrooms that both offer fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there is a separate guest bathroom with fresh three piece suite. A useful walk-in cupboard, accessed from the hallway, provides a great space for storing luggage, bikes and Christmas decorations. This gorgeous home is truly one-of-a-kind and it has some standout features that are sure to impress.

Templeton Court sits adjacent to Glasgow Green, the city’s oldest park that stretches over 130 acres, alongside the River Clyde. This is a lovely area to walk, run and picnic and also offers recreation grounds and sports pitches. Sitting within is People’s Palace, a museum dedicated to the people of Glasgow and how they lived, worked and played.

The area has an abundance of cafes, restaurants and bars. Within Templeton Court, West Brewery is a place to enjoy artisan lagers and wheat beers. Also nearby are Barrowlands, the legendary dance hall and music venue and Saint Luke’s, a perfect spot for evenings of lively entertainment. In addition to the permanent offerings, the area comes alive at the weekend at The Barras market, a mixture of street markets, indoor markets, shops and pubs.

Templeton Court lies just over a mile from the city centre. It is less than a 10- minute walk from Bridgeton Station, which gives ready access to Argyle Street Station in the Merchant City in around eight minutes. Edinburgh Waverley is reached in approximately 50 minutes and London Euston in about five hours.
