Property Description

A grand and incredibly versatile ground & garden conversion with private rear garden in the heart of Dowanhill, seconds walk from Byres Road & Glasgow University.

22 Dowanside Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly adaptable ground and garden level conversion, set within a handsome blonde sandstone townhouse on one of Dowanhill’s most desirable, tree-lined terraces. Seconds from Byres Road and within easy walking distance of the University of Glasgow, this is a home that delivers the full West End lifestyle with ease – complete with a private enclosed rear garden, south-facing front “well” garden, and expansive, character-filled interior that retains many beautiful original features.

The home is located in the Dowanhill Conservation Area, just 0.2 miles from Hillhead Underground Station, providing quick connections across the city, while an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, and coffee spots – including Waitrose, Blank Street, Ka Pao, and Little Italy etc – are all within a 3–5 minute stroll. This is an exceptional address for those who value architecture, lifestyle, and convenience in equal measure.

Internally, the property is impressive in scale and character – retaining beautiful ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, high skirting boards, and large sash windows. The current layout offers a well-balanced, flexible arrangement of rooms over two levels, with excellent storage and the potential to upgrade or reconfigure to suit the next owner’s requirements.

Accommodation Summary

Upon entering via the main door, a welcoming reception hallway leads to a grand bay window lounge, flooded with natural light and adorned with a ceiling rose and intricate cornice work. The principal bedroom lies to the rear, enjoying peaceful views over the private garden, while a second double bedroom—complete with corner WC—completes the main floor accommodation.
A staircase leads to the lower garden level, which offers further generously proportioned accommodation. Here you'll find:

• A third bedroom with front-facing bay window and large walk-in storage cupboard
• A fourth double bedroom, ideal for guests or as a home office
