WESTPOINT Homes is excited to launch a fabulous new show apartment this month at The Avenues, Pollokshields. This is a stunning development of 24 bespoke three-bedroom apartments spread over two contemporary styled blocks seamlessly merging in to the tranquil residential area of Sutherland Avenue creating the perfect retreat.
As an area Pollokshields has it all, blending its rich past with a vibrant community, Glasgow’s exceptional shopping and art scene are just minutes away, additionally its coveted location is served by three local railway stations which provide unrivalled connectivity.
Despite being just a few minutes away by train, Pollokshields feels a world away from the busy city centre. With plenty of green spaces a short stroll south – choose from the manicured Maxwell Park or the vast Pollok Country Park home to The Burrell Collection and Pollok House. In close proximity the fairways of Haggs Castle, Pollok and Cowglen golf club provide great leisure options, not to mention skiing and snowboarding facilities at Bellahouston Park. Pollokshields is the meeting point between country ideals and the buzz of the city.
A delight to look at, The Avenues presents external finishes of natural sandstone and slate roof finishes complementing the traditional properties in the surrounding area. Accessed via the peaceful tree lined Sutherland Avenue, the beautifully landscaped gardens lead to the allocated parking area creating a welcoming haven from the bustle of modern life. Discretely placed shrubs and trees are strategically positioned in the private outdoor space providing the perfect place to enjoy some alfresco dining whilst enjoying the stunning surroundings.
