Property Description
Occupying a ground floor position within a handsome blonde sandstone tenement in the desirable Dowanhill area, this charming two-bedroom flat offers beautifully proportioned accommodation, a wealth of period character and the rare benefit of a private front garden, all just a stone's throw from Byres Road and the outstanding amenities of Glasgow's vibrant West End.
The property has been well maintained by the current owner and immediately impresses with its generous room sizes, high ceilings, striking original features and abundance of natural light. A welcoming reception hall forms the heart of the home and provides access to all principal apartments. To the front, a superb bay-windowed lounge is a particularly attractive living space, benefiting from a bright open outlook over the private front garden and retaining beautiful period detailing including ornate ceiling cornicing and an attractive fireplace. The generous proportions create an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining.
There are two spacious double bedrooms, each offering excellent flexibility and character. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring a large two section window, attractive timber flooring and a handsome fireplace, while the second bedroom is another well-proportioned double room overlooking the rear of the building. To the rear, the dining kitchen provides an excellent social space with ample room for a table and chairs. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted units and enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful study area, ideal for home working, while a particularly spacious bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a white three-piece suite.
One of the property's most appealing features is the delightful private front garden, a wonderfully green and sheltered space that enhances the sense of privacy and provides a charming setting in which to relax outdoors. Residents also benefit from access to a well-maintained communal rear garden.
The location is exceptional. Situated within the highly desirable Dowanhill district, the property is perfectly placed for enjoying everything the West End has to offer. Byres Road is only moments away and provides an outstanding selection of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, together with everyday amenities including supermarkets and banks. The nearby Ashton Lane remains one of Glasgow's most popular leisure destinations, while the beautiful Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Park and the University of Glasgow are all within easy walking distance. The area is exceptionally well served by public transport, with Hillhead Underground Station close by and regular bus routes providing swift access to the city centre and beyond.
Combining period elegance, comfortable accommodation, excellent natural light and an enviable West End location, this is a wonderful two-bedroom home that will appeal to a broad range of buyers.
