Specifications (Planned/Estimated)
Because the building is currently a derelict shell being converted into apartments, ”standard” home stats like bedrooms and bathrooms vary by the specific unit plan. However, based on recent development filings:
-
Floors: 3 storeys plus attic levels and twin water towers.
-
Residential Units: Planning was granted to convert this specific block into approximately 12–14 luxury flats.
-
Retail/Auction Estimate: Individual renovated flats in the area (Gartloch Village) typically range from £160,000 to £300,000 depending on size. As a shell, the value is strictly in its development potential and land.
-
Taxes: Most units in this area fall under Council Tax Band B or C, though a converted penthouse in the tower would likely be higher.
Note on Address: The range 2270–2288 Gartloch Road actually refers to the ”Gartloch Cottages” (former staff housing) nearby, which are now private residences. The main hospital building itself is often simply addressed as ”The Administration Block, Gartloch Village.”
