Property Description
An elegant upper duplex within a distinguished sandstone tenement in the heart of Kirklee
Occupying the upper levels of a distinguished sandstone tenement, this elegant duplex enjoys a privileged position in the highly sought-after Kirklee area, directly adjacent to the entrance of the Botanic Gardens on Ford Road. The property commands open, leafy views across its tranquil surroundings, offering a rare blend of period grandeur and refined contemporary living.
Arranged over two generous floors and linked by a graceful traditional staircase, the accommodation combines impressive social spaces with flexible private rooms. The lower level forms the social heart of the home, centred around a beautifully designed bespoke kitchen — newly installed and finished with deep green cabinetry, black granite worktops, and premium integrated appliances by Neff. An open archway connects this space to a large dining room, ideal for hosting or family gatherings. The separate front lounge retains its traditional charm, with intricate cornicing, a cast-iron fireplace, and broad bay windows overlooking the Botanic Gardens.
Four well-proportioned bedrooms provide versatility for family life, guests, or home working. Two stylishly appointed bathrooms — each finished to an exceptional standard — serve the property, complemented by practical features such as an understairs utility cupboard and a dedicated bike storage area.
Kirklee Quadrant enjoys an enviable West End location — just moments from the Botanic Gardens and within easy reach of leading independent schools including The Glasgow Academy, The High School of Glasgow, and Kelvinside Academy. The area’s vibrant cafés, restaurants, and transport links are all within walking distance, ensuring convenience as well as prestige.
