Former home of Glasgow Lord Provost, Sir Patrick Dolan, hits the market and the period features are incredible

This three bedroom flat gives house-hunters in Glasgow a chance to own a piece of Scottish history.

Both Queens Park and Scotland played here from 1873 to 1884 and witnessed an unbeaten Scotland, including a 7-2 win over England in 1878.

The site is now occupied by Kingsley Gardens and Hampden Bowling Club.

The property, No.1 Kingsley Avenue was once the home of of the Lord Provost of Glasgow, Sir Patrick Dolan.

"Also, of benefit to Kingsley Avenue is the very large communal garden to the rear, which is fenced in by the Cathcart Inner Circle railway line, with these gardens only entered through the individual closes offering a great deal of privacy as well as security."

The property is ideal for a family or those looking to upgrade to a home with a bit more space and, thanks to the southside location, the price tag is a bit more affordable than a similar flat in the city's west end or the capital.
