Images have revealed a first look inside a 'trendy new development' situated in a former knitwear factory in Glasgow.
Cottanyards - which is a development by Westpoint Homes - consists of 100 new apartments for the city.
Situated in the popular and "convenient" New Gorbals area in the southside, prospective buyers of the new homes will have the chance to 'own a piece of history' - with the development housed in the Category B-Listed TwoMax building, which dates back to the early 1820s.
The property firm says the new development has been split into two collections.
The first - which is called the OneMax Collection - will offer one and two-bedroom apartments in the new building.
Meanwhile, the second - which is named the TwoMax Collection - will present 'trendy' one and two-bedroom loft-style apartments, one and two-bedroom loft-style penthouses as well as four-bedroom loft-style duplexes - which boast views across the city’s skyline.
The building was originally a cotton spinning mill, however, it then became a clothing factory during the late 19th century.
Then, when it became vacant in 1920, Twomax, a knitwear company, moved into it for the next 60 years.
The firm was co-owned by Hugh McClure and his brother-in-law - Donald McIntosh.
The clothing that was produced under the brand was sold in high-end department stores such as Harrods, Selfridges, and House of Fraser.
Caryl Speirs from Westpoint Homes said: “The TwoMax building is a remarkable piece of history – and a striking fixture in the area.
“The former factory is the oldest surviving building in Hutchesontown, both a vestige of Glasgow’s textile industry and a symbol of the city’s cultural heritage.
“The Gorbals is fast becoming one of the city’s most popular areas for young professionals – particularly those who are priced out of the west end and southside.
“The Gorbals also boasts a 20-minute neighbourhood, part of Glasgow’s Liveable Neighbourhoods plan which aims to ensure residents all across Glasgow can access key services in their local area within 20 minutes by either active travel or public transport.
“Although steeped in history, the Cottonyards development consists of modern and stylish apartments, with over 30 differing styles across the two collections - all in an area that is fast rising in popularity.
“With the flats situated on the corner of Commercial Road, the local area has plenty of amenities including schools, local shops and excellent transport links.”
The apartments in the new development will start from £179,000.
