Property Description
Occupying a prime position on one of the West End’s most desirable grand terraces at the edge of Dowanhill, this exceptional four-bedroom duplex with private main door access offers an enviable blend of refined interior design, desirable outdoor space, and secure private garage — all just a short stroll from Byres Road, Glasgow University, and the Botanic Gardens.
Belhaven Terrace West is a distinguished address, noted for its striking blonde sandstone townhouses and peaceful setting, while still being within easy reach of the bustling Hillhead and Dowanhill districts. Residents enjoy a superb lifestyle balance — tucked away from the crowds yet within 0.3 miles of the Botanic Gardens and less than a 10-minute walk from Byres Road’s renowned cafes, restaurants, boutique shops and bars. For commuting, Hillhead Subway is close by, and road users benefit from fast connections to the Clydeside Expressway and M8 motorway network. 17A Belhaven Terrace West forms part of an elegant townhouse conversion at the eastern end of the terrace. Tastefully redeveloped into a select number of high-spec residences, the building and landscaped grounds are kept in immaculate order.
This particular property boasts rare features including a secure private garage, a south-facing garden, large expanse of elevated gable end garden and a gated entrance courtyard patio at the entrance — luxuries seldom available in this exclusive part of the city.
Inside, the home has been finished to an exceptional standard and as such the accommodation will appeal to everyone from growing West End families to professional couples in search of sufficient accommodation to successfully work from home if required. Entry is via a private, stone-stairway that opens into a charming lower courtyard with attractive flagstones and soft lighting — perfect for setting up a seating area under the flying staircase to the building above or decorative planting. A substantial main door entrance gives access to the vestibule which in turn leads into a long reception hallway which leads on to all upper accommodation. Continuing through, you'll find two generously sized king-size bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities (one of which is Jack & Jill to hallway) and a third double-sized bedroom designed with privacy in mind, complete with a separate study or dressing nook and its own shower room — ideal for guests, shift workers, or multigenerational living. A beauifully fitted utility room completes the upper level - well positioned for keeping towels, bedding and laundry near the bedrooms.
Descending to the lower floor reveals the heart of the home: a large, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with full-height glazed doors opening directly to the private garden. The kitchen itself is sleek and contemporary, with integrated premium appliances, ample storage, and a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar — ideal for entertaining, family meals, or casual evenings in.
Additional living spaces include a cosy cinema room (with potential for use as a gym, study, or playroom) and a highly flexible guest bedroom (bedroom number 4) currently arranged as a second home office come bedroom, with bi-fold doors leading into the garden. A guest WC and large cupboard, that extends in below the stairs, rounds out the lower floor.
The private south-facing garden is a major highlight — low maintenance with artificial lawn, it provides a rare opportunity for sunny outdoor relaxation or entertaining in a secure, enclosed space. The home also includes ownership of a large, elevated planting area adjacent to the property which could be creatively developed into further outdoor space, subject to design input.
The property has a private garage with automatic door.
