Property Description

The versatile layout extends to circa 1500 square feet.

Internally there is a stunning lounge/dining room recently re-decorated with Timorous Beasties accent wallpaper, an upper landing giving access to bedroom one (with en suite shower room), bedroom two, study/home office and the main bathroom. At the back of the reception hall, four steps lead down to the spacious dining kitchen, bedroom three and the private back door to the terrace.
Externally there is the enormous feature of a private, enclosed terrace which is complemented by a charming garden room. The property has westerly aspects to the front, is incredibly handy for the beautiful Botanic Gardens and is within easy reach of countless West End amenities, Byres Road, Glasgow University and public transport facilities.
