Property Description
The property for sale is a beautifully appointed one-bedroom, ground-floor tenement apartment with its own private front terrace, offering extremely comfortable living space for a young professional or couple. This lovely example in which an attractive combination of charm and functionality are demonstrated, in a location that is just a few minutes’ walk from a range of local amenities in the popular West End district of Thornwood.
In terms of location, Kennoway Drive is a highly desirable and tucked-away address within the popular residential area of Thornwood. Known for its attractive red sandstone tenements and a amenity rich local high street, Thornwood delivers a vibrant but relaxed community feel. The area is very well connected: Partick railway, bus and underground station is approximately half a mile from Kennoway Drive. Just around the corner from the home for sale, Dumbarton Road provides a well-served bus route for further convenience. Thornwood’s proximity to Glasgow also makes it popular with commuters and students alike: the University of Glasgow and Byres Road are within about 1 mile of Thornwood.
In recent years, this location has become especially attractive to medical professionals as well, due to its walking or cycling distance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) (approximately 1.1 miles from Thornwood, as the straight-line distance), and to Gartnavel General Hospital, which lies in the West End nearby.
The property itself is an extremely attractive one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment that has been lovingly upgraded by its current owners to a very high standard. As seen in the accompanying photographs and video, the interior has been modernised throughout to create a warm, inviting home. In brief, the accommodation comprises: an entrance hall giving access to all principal rooms; an open-plan kitchen/living room with a bay window, a peninsula breakfast bar, and a highlight — a wood-burning stove; a generously proportioned, king-sized bedroom; and a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room, featuring sophisticated grey tiling, a contemporary white suite, and a large vanity mirror. The original WC has been cleverly transformed into a walk-in wardrobe, but because the pipework remains below floor level, it could easily be converted back into a toilet or a shower room if required.
Altogether, this is an outstanding home that blends traditional tenement charm with high-quality modern living, in a highly desirable and well-connected part of Glasgow’s West End.
