Property Description
This beautiful two-bedroom conversion is situated on Park Terrace, which is regarded as one of the finest addresses in the West End of Glasgow, within the city’s revered Park District — offering beautifully appointed, feature-filled traditional living space with direct views onto the boundaries of Kelvingrove Park and across to Glasgow University.
Park Terrace was designed by renowned architect Charles Wilson in the 1850s as part of his grand plan to create French Renaissance townhouses overlooking Kelvingrove Park. Number 11 is a grand central pavilion house, set at the centre of a gorgeous, curving blonde sandstone terrace that faces south-west towards beautiful mature trees that thrive at the boundary of Kelvingrove. Between the trees, there are sublime views of Glasgow University’s landmark Gothic Revival spire. As far as street scene and outlooks go, Park Terrace is up there with the most beautiful addresses in Scotland and if you are in any doubt about that – please come along and have a look for yourself.
Indeed, the positioning of the address opposite the park gives a lovely sense of tranquillity and seclusion — yet it could not be more central. This location offers almost instant access to amenities in both the city centre and West End, is perfectly placed for gaining rapid access to major road networks and, as such, is the ideal address for anyone who wishes to take full advantage of central Glasgow’s thriving culture whilst retaining an extremely peaceful and private home residence.
As you will see from the attached photographs and HD video, the home for sale is an instantly impressive example in which traditional grandeur and modern comforts are combined. Carefully maintained by the current owners to an extremely high standard, with bright, fresh décor and comfortable principal apartments, this is a great example that is certain to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers. Indeed, from the moment you enter the beautifully appointed communal reception hall through substantial front doors, you instantly feel the welcome and safety of home.
Internally, the property is of great proportions, offering comfortable living space that would be ideal for anyone from a downsizer in search of a retirement pad with plenty of space for entertaining guests or visiting family and grandchildren, to professional couples seeking a statement property within one of the city’s most impressive residential areas, or indeed academics who work at the University and wish their morning commute to be through Kelvingrove Park with flat white in hand.
As mentioned, this is a feature-rich conversion with ornate ceiling coving, Corinthian columns with acanthus leaf crowns, deep luxurious skirtings and timber facings, and stunning ceiling height. However, the best part of the property, in our opinion, is the vast bay window, which floods the main living space with natural light and offers beautiful leafy views towards the Park and over to the University.
In brief, the accommodation extends to; entrance hall that gives access to each of the principal apartments, two comfortable bedrooms including one king-sized and one double room – both with fitted wardrobes, a fitted kitchen with white high-gloss units and integrated appliances, and a main bathroom with elegant white three-piece suite including a shower over the bath. The main event, though, is the expansive main living space, which measures approximately 10.4 metres by 5.4 metres and is loaded with the features mentioned above — a room that will undoubtedly wow your friends and impress your enemies!
