This stunning loft apartment is set within the beautifully restored Gourock Ropeworks building in Port Glasgow and is available to purchase through Bowman Rebecchi - The Home of Property.
Set on the ground floor, this remarkable property was the former show home for the development and provides buyers with distinctive character and a spacious layout, perfect for those looking for something unique.
A striking fusion of heritage and contemporary design, this exceptional two-bedroom American loft-style apartment sits within the iconic Gourock Ropeworks building in Port Glasgow - one of Scotland’s finest examples of restored industrial architecture. Once the heart of a thriving rope and sail-making industry, this historic site has been meticulously transformed into a collection of high-spec modern homes, and this ground-floor apartment is without a doubt one of its most impressive.
Step inside and you’re immediately struck by the sheer sense of space. Double-height ceilings, original factory-style windows, exposed brickwork, and steel beams deliver that coveted New York loft aesthetic - yet there’s warmth and elegance in every corner. The entrance hallway has been designed to make a statement, offering a grand welcome that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
At the heart of the property lies a beautifully zoned open-plan living and dining space, cleverly divided into distinct areas for relaxation, work, and entertaining. The high-spec kitchen is both sleek and practical, featuring integrated appliances, a double oven, and an American-style fridge freezer, all centred around a striking marble-topped island. A separate washing area adds further convenience and style.
A raised lounge with a semi-framed glass balustrade creates an intimate yet open area to unwind - offering a touch of luxury that elevates this home well beyond the ordinary. A stylish dining area completes the main space, making it ideal for hosting guests or enjoying laid-back family meals. Two cleverly positioned home office spaces provide flexible work-from-home options without compromising the apartment’s clean, open aesthetic.
The master suite is nothing short of impressive, with a mezzanine-level walk-in wardrobe that overlooks the hallway, adding a sense of drama and elegance to the already spacious room. A second double bedroom features its own en-suite with shower, WC, and hand basin, all finished with the same eye for detail seen throughout the apartment.
The main bathroom is a true showstopper - fully tiled and designed for indulgence, it features a raised standalone bath, wall-hung WC, statement lighting, and even a lush living wall that brings an unexpected touch of nature into this serene, spa-like retreat.
Further highlights include private allocated parking, a secure entry system, and a private front entrance gate. Storage is in abundance, with hidden spaces cleverly integrated beneath the raised lounge and within recessed areas in the bedrooms.
Ideally located just moments from Port Glasgow town centre, with excellent transport links via the nearby train station and easy access to the A8/M8, this unique home offers both convenience and character in equal measure. Whether you’re a professional seeking a statement space, a downsizer looking for style and comfort, or an investor eyeing a standout property in a heritage setting, this apartment is a rare find.
The Gourock Ropeworks building in Port Glasgow stands as a proud testament to Scotland’s rich industrial past, particularly its maritime and shipbuilding heritage. The Ropeworks played a vital role in the global shipping industry, producing ropes, sails, and canvas goods that were exported worldwide. Its location on Bay Street, close to the River Clyde, made it ideally situated to support the bustling shipyards and maritime trade of the time.
Built in the 1860s, the tall L-plan block is located on the corner of Bay Street. Designed with a distinctive warehouse style, the building is notable for its imposing red brick façade, large multi-pane factory windows, and robust steel framework – classic features of early industrial architecture. Its vast interior spaces, once home to rope-making machinery and bustling production lines, have since been thoughtfully converted into residential apartments, preserving the building’s historical fabric while giving it a new lease on life.
The Ropeworks is not only a symbol of Port Glasgow’s industrial strength but also of architectural resilience. It has been carefully restored to retain key original elements, including exposed brickwork, cast iron columns, and soaring ceilings, which together celebrate the craftsmanship and ambition of the era in which it was built.
Today, the Gourock Ropeworks is a Category A listed building – recognition of its national significance as one of the finest surviving examples of industrial architecture in Scotland.
It serves as a striking reminder of the town’s contribution to global trade and continues to be a cherished part of the local landscape, blending history with modern living.
0-2, 1 Gourock Ropeworks is available for offers over £250,000, which is the Home Report value and available to be shared with interested parties.
