Property Description
The home for sale is an instantly impressive three-bedroom main door duplex conversion, offering luxurious living space over two levels, with the additional advantages of private gated rear parking area, enclosed rear terrace and cellar storage space.
This magnificent property at No. 19 Newton Place occupies the entire elevated ground and first floors of an elegant, stone-cleaned blonde sandstone townhouse, located in the highly desirable Park District, at the edge of Kelvingrove Park - between the West End & city centre. The property was completely renovated and formed into its current configuration by Wemyss Properties in 2021 who undertook an extensive redevelopment and upgrade of numbers 18 and 19. The interior & exterior improvements have been thoughtfully curated to respect the original architecture while introducing modern elements that complement the building’s traditional character.
The result is a home of genuine distinction — one that combines the grandeur and detailing of a classic townhouse with high-end contemporary design. The internal craftsmanship and specification are of the highest order, with Porcelanosa design collaboration for the kitchen and bathrooms, restored ceiling cornices and roses, and sash and case double-glazed windows throughout. Every aspect of the finish has been executed to exceptional standards, resulting in a property that is both elegant and practical for modern living. Considering the commodious and versatile nature of the accommodation – the property could be a good fit for everyone from business executives to professional couples, growing West End families and even down-sizers in search of high-quality living space within a central yet peaceful address.
Upon arrival, a few wide steps with decorative wrought-iron railings and stone balustrade lead to the main door. The entrance hallway immediately sets the tone, featuring an original statue enclave and double doors leading to the main internal hall, with a sweeping staircase linking both the first floor and lower garden level.
The accommodation begins with an impressive front lounge and dining room, extending over 27 feet in length and featuring ornate cornicing, two full-height sash windows with original shutters, and beautiful herringbone oak flooring. The open-plan kitchen continues the herringbone flooring and provides a stunning contemporary focal point — complete with a central waterfall island, bespoke cabinetry, and integrated Siemens appliances. A utility room adjoins the kitchen, providing additional storage and workspace. From the hallway, there is access to a luxury shower room fitted to a superb standard.
A feature glass cupola above the stairwell fills the first-floor landing with natural light. The principal bedroom suite extends to approximately 22 feet and features fitted wardrobes, plush carpeted flooring, and twin Juliet balconies overlooking the treetops of Newton Place. The Jack and Jill main bathroom, accessed from both the principal bedroom and hallway, offers a truly indulgent space with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, wash hand basin, and toilet — all finished with Porcelanosa fittings. Two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and sash windows overlooking the rear garden, complete the first-floor accommodation.
From the ground floor, stairs descend to a lower hallway which provides a large storage cupboard and direct access to the private, astro-turfed rear terrace and secure, gated car parking area.
In terms of situation, Newton Place is an elegant, tree-lined avenue situated near the boundary of Kelvingrove Park, providing a peaceful and leafy setting that feels removed from the bustle, yet lies between the West End and Glasgow city centre. Local amenities can be found on nearby Woodlands Road, Sauchiehall Street, and Argyle Street, offering an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops, while Byres Road and the Kelvinbridge area are only a short distance away.
Kelvingrove Park and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum are within a few minutes’ walk, as are Glasgow University and several of the city’s best public and private schools. For professionals, the property offers an ideal position within walking distance of the city centre, with Charing Cross train station and St George’s Cross underground both around five minutes away. Rapid access to the M8 motorway also makes this location ideal for those who regularly commute between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
In all, this is a remarkable and beautifully presented home — offering a rare combination of luxury, tranquillity and convenience in one of Glasgow’s most prestigious addresses.
