Location
The property is located immediately to the east of Craighall Road and west of Spiers Wharf and enjoys an enviable position at Craighall, immediately adjacent to the Forth and Clyde Canal, which has seen significant investment by Scottish Waterways in the recent past. Indeed, further investment is planned by Glasgow City Council, ISIS and Scottish Canals to improve the environment around the canal and further enhance connectivity between Craighall and Glasgow City Centre.
Craighall Road (A879) is a main arterial route and connects directly to the M8 at Juntion 16 with both eastbound and westbound connections available. Glasgow City Centre is located closeby and within walking distance, whilst Cowcaddens Subway Station is a short walk from the property. There are good local bus connections both on Craighall Road itself and the surrounding main roads, all within a few minute’s walk of the property.
There are a number of other professional companies located within the Wheatsheaf building as well as Speirs Wharf itself.
The office is accessed via Speirs Wharf which comprises an attractive cobbled lane adjacent to the canal.
