Property Description

This is an incredibly stylish first floor conversion forming part of “Glendoune”, an elegant and symmetrical detached villa, located on a tree lined terrace discreetly hidden from The Great Western Road. The building was designed by John Honeyman, built circa 1875 and further improved by William Leiper in 1907. It is an absolutely unique West End conversion which offers a charming blend of traditional and contemporary accommodation, and boasts off-street parking and a private garden.

Upon arriving at the property’s grand front entrance, visitors are greeted by a charming warm-toned wooden front door embellished by intricate wrought iron grilles, and flanked by two large fluted columns that create a striking sense of sophistication and classical aesthetic.

Having crossed the threshold, the elaborate period artistry only continues in the most wonderful communal hallway, adorned with magnificent wooden panelling, and a sweeping archived vaulted ceiling that enriches the space with crisscross latticed motifs. The Billiard Room conversion is located in the rear annex of the building, accessed from the half landing by way of a handsome staircase with turned wooden balusters and newel posts with carved finials.

The hallway of the Billiard Room Conversion is formed from the beautifully preserved wood-panelled “Antechamber”, rich in period detail and artisan craftsmanship with a spectacular carved “Cherub” archway, traditional balustrades and bespoke pew seating. From here the accommodation flows seamlessly, with the property having been reimagined internally to create a versatile four-apartment layout that combines both rich heritage and modern sensibility.

The spacious lounge would have originally served as the Billiard Room and benefits from double sash and case windows to both sides. The curvaceous vaulted ceiling adds a dramatic sense of scale and architectural interest, while the soft natural light enhances the warm tones and period features. This exceptional space is truly the heart of the home and is equally suited to relaxing or entertaining.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully positioned, each offering a tranquil retreat with lovely outlooks and tasteful décor in keeping with the home’s harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design.

There is a fitted kitchen with black gloss cabinetry and integrated appliances, a modern three piece bathroom, and a floored attic space can be accessed from the utility room via fixed ladder further incorporating invaluable additional storage. A private rear door opens to a delightful timber 'bridge' walkway, providing direct access to the absolutely gorgeous lawned private garden, which will act as a true haven of peace and serenity for discerning buyers. The property also has off-street parking, a rare and welcome asset in this highly sought after West End location.

This is a remarkable opportunity to reside in a unique piece of Glasgow’s architectural heritage, thoughtfully modernised, beautifully presented, and ideally positioned just a short distance from the cultural and social vibrancy of Byres Road and The Botanical Gardens.
