LOCATION

The subjects benefit from a prime trading position on the corner of Dumbarton Road and Dowanhill Street within the popular and well-established Partick district in Glasgow’s vibrant West End.

Dumbarton Road is a busy arterial route, providing excellent local amenities and a wide variety of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and licensed premises, with Byres Road and the wider West End also readily accessible. The subjects lie within a recognised and popular licensed circuit and surrounding operators include The Lismore, Bag o’Nails, Celino’s, Quarter Gill, Terra Cotta Warriors and Wunderbar to name a few. Other surrounding occupiers include Tesco, Anytime Fitness and Carlton Bingo.

The subjects are well served by public transport, being adjacent to Kelvinhall underground station and close to Partick railway station, providing regular services throughout Glasgow and beyond. The surrounding area benefits from a strong residential population as well as a significant student population due to its close proximity to Glasgow University and a number of substantial student accommodation developments.

Other nearby attractions and amenities include the Kelvingrove Museum & Art Galleries, the Kelvinhall International Sports Arena, The Kelvingrove Bandstand, as well as the SEC and the OVO Hydro.

THE PROPERTY

The subjects comprise part ground floor and basement of this traditional, 4-storey, blonde sandstone tenement style property, all under a pitched tiled roof.

DESCRIPTION

The subjects are accessed directly from Dumbarton Road via a door positioned in the centre of the double display frontage, and the subjects also benefit from a large side elevation which currently has two windows and a doorway, however there is scope to put in a much larger window frontage, subject to planning.

The subjects currently trade as an Asian fusion restaurant and takeaway, seemingly with the main focus on the takeaway and delivery element. The front section is home to a customer waiting area as well as a bar/servery positioned in the corner window.

To the rear of this there is some customer seating provided by way of fixed booths, fixed banquet seating and loose tables and chairs, however much of the restaurant space is currently being under utilised due to the apparent focus on takeaway/deliveries.

The premises provide a large open plan front section which benefits from a number of original features including high ceilings, original wooden floor and exposed brickwork in parts.

The basement area is accessed from the rear of the restaurant area via an attractive steel staircase with glass and steel balustrade.
