Property Description
This substantial three-bedroom tenement apartment is nestled at the edge of the Botanic Gardens and set within an extremely sought-after address in the Kirklee district of Glasgow’s West End. Offering bright, roomy accommodation and benefitting from a current HMO licence, the property is perfectly placed for gaining quick, easy access to all West End amenities surrounding Byres Road, Hillhead and Kelvinbridge.
Kirklee Quadrant is a much admired address, positioned adjacent to the southern gates of Glasgow’s renowned Botanic Gardens. As such, the home for sale is perfectly placed for instant entry to the park’s stunning woodland walkways, Victorian glasshouses and beautiful planted flower beds which burst into colour during the months of spring and summer. As mentioned, Kirklee Quadrant is also an extremely convenient position for anyone who wishes to have easy access to all West End amenities, and therefore the home for sale is certain to appeal to young professional couples and growing West End families. Within minutes of leaving the property it is possible to reach a diverse selection of restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets, coffee shops and cafés, as well as public transport links including bus services and underground rail stations.
The home for sale is a substantial three bedroom traditional tenement apartment which extends to 123 square metres of accommodation. Having been successfully rented as a fully licensed HMO for several years, the property is a superb acquisition for a parent in search of fully compliant accommodation for student offspring who are studying at Glasgow University. Given that the most recent licence was only granted recently, it is more than likely that the next owner too will be able to secure a licence for their own use.
The situation of the property for sale is superb. Immediately adjacent to the North West gate of the Botanic Gardens — into which the property enjoys beautiful views from the living room’s deep bay window. This places the home for sale within easy walking distance of Byres Road and Glasgow University - a particularly pleasant stroll if you take a route (via Ford Road) through the Botanics and follow the (River) Kelvin Walkway which brings you to Great Western Road at the top of Byres Road. The property is held within an elegant and eye-catching red sandstone tenement, positioned near the end of a curving red sandstone terrace. Access to number 11 is via a flight of steps that lead up to a secure entrance door with intercom entry system. The communal hall and stairway are presented in excellent condition and are regularly maintained by the appointed factor. At the rear of the building there is a beautiful residents’ garden which has been carefully landscaped and refined to offer an extremely private, enclosed sun trap that is enjoyed by the current owner and all neighbours.
Internally, this is a substantial apartment which offers bright, comfortable accommodation that will appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers. In brief, the accommodation extends to: a broad reception hall with corridor leading to the rear, a bay window living room which offers lovely views and glimpses of the Campsie Hills in the distance, three spacious double bedrooms which can all accommodate free standing wardrobes, drawer sets and desks for the studious, a substantial dining sized kitchen with utility room off, and a main bathroom.
