Property Description

This instantly impressive three-bedroom second-floor traditional tenement apartment has been lovingly upgraded and refined by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard. The result is a beautiful, well-balanced home which offers extremely comfortable, modernised living space while retaining lots of original features that give the property real character and charm. All of this is set within a particularly sought-after address at the edge of Dowanhill, just a few hundred metres from Byres Road, in the very heart of Glasgow’s West End.

Lawrence Street is an especially attractive and highly regarded address, running east to west between Hyndland Street and Byres Road near the boundary between Partickhill and Dowanhill. Despite its superb central location, the street enjoys a notably peaceful and leafy atmosphere and is renowned for its handsome blonde and red sandstone tenements. Number 39 is a beautifully maintained three-storey red sandstone building, maintained to an excellent standard by the appointed factor. From the secure entrance door with intercom system, to the immaculately kept communal hall and stairwell, and the neatly maintained lawned rear courtyard, the quality of upkeep is immediately apparent and sets the tone for what lies within.

The apartment is situated on the second (top) landing and is accessed via the left-hand doorway. Entry is through substantial, well-finished storm doors and a glazed internal front door, which open into a particularly welcoming reception hall. This elegant space provides access to all principal rooms and is finished with stunning hardwood oak herringbone flooring, immediately showcasing the quality and attention to detail found throughout the interior.

The living room is a beautifully proportioned and very comfortable space, again featuring the striking herringbone flooring. A large bay window floods the room with natural light and offers lovely open views across surrounding rooftops, extending towards the spire of Cottier’s Theatre. The room retains a traditional fireplace with gas-fired element, attractive ceiling detailing and a charming, fitted storage cabinet with glazed upper doors, all of which enhance the room’s period appeal.

The dining kitchen is a particularly impressive feature of the apartment. It is notably spacious and has benefitted from a subtle but effective alteration which has opened up and optimised the layout. The kitchen is fitted out with a fully bespoke shaker-style fictures, complete with a comprehensive range of fitted units, Silestone work surfaces and a full complement of high-quality integrated appliances, including a gas-fired Belling range-style cooker with five-ring hob. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs, along with the ever-practical tenement ceiling-mounted pulley for airing and drying. Off the kitchen is a large walk-in pantry, fully fitted with shelving and providing exceptional additional storage.
The property offers three generously proportioned bedrooms, comprising two comfortable king-sized rooms and a further good-sized double. Each room provides ample space for freestanding furniture, desks or drawer units, with space for wardrobes in the larger bedrooms. The substantial four-piece bathroom is presented in superb condition, finished with attractive jade green tiling and a traditional white suite which includes a beautiful freestanding roll-top bath.

Completing the accommodation is a large, fully fitted hallway cupboard, ideal for coats, footwear, sports equipment or outdoor clothing — further enhancing the excellent storage provision throughout the apartment.

As will be evident during an in person viewing, the current owners have taken a meticulous and no-expense-spared approach to upgrading their home. Improvements have been carried out thoroughly yet sympathetically, ensuring the original character of the apartment is preserved while delivering a very high standard of modern living. Features such as the elegant column radiators with matching brass valves, stunning herringbone flooring, and the exceptional bespoke kitchen all combine to create a truly outstanding West End home. The fundamental elements of the property are also of a great standard including the Worcester combi boiler which pre-dates the current owner’s tenure and was fitted in 2017, serviced up until October 2026. The property also benefits from double glazing.
