Property Description

Elstow, 5 Victoria Circus. One of the most elegant and striking villas in the Dowanhill Estate. With magnificent residents' gardens, a gravelled driveway that provides extensive off-street parking, and a stunningly leafy setting, this two-bedroom ground floor conversion with direct access to the rear gardens is one of the finest apartments to grace the market this summer and, given its irrefutable charm and enviable setting, is certain to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers, including professionals and downsizers.

This lovely conversion is held within a spectacular mid-19th-century villa which was remodelled and extended in the baronial style by prominent Scottish architect Alexander Bisset Paterson, who was President of the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland.

Elstow enjoys a peaceful setting on Victoria Circus, one of the leafiest and most prestigious addresses in Dowanhill, whilst being within minutes' walk of Byres Road, Hyndland Road and the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. This is an idyllic residential area and those who know the West End and Dowanhill well will understand that this is a particularly special building, with one of the finest residents' gardens in the area.

The property is entered via a broad gravel driveway, bordered by well-stocked and planted beds – a grand arrival. The residents' driveway offers extensive space for off-street parking for residents and their visitors.

Internally, this is a very comfortable ground floor conversion which has been lovingly improved and maintained to a high standard by the current owner. As you will see, the interior has beautiful features which combine with comfortable proportions to create an attractive and memorable living space.

The four-section bay-windowed living room, with ample space for dining, is beautiful, featuring panelling and an original fire surround with a modern living-flame insert – a space that is as impressive as it is calming and homely.

The kitchen is of breakfasting proportions and is situated to the rear, looking out over the exceptional residents' gardens. French doors provide direct access to the gardens – a marvellous feature for such a conversion, allowing the interior and outdoor spaces to combine seamlessly when the sun comes out.

The principal bedroom is of comfortable king-sized proportions and has an in-built wardrobe, with space for further freestanding wardrobes and drawer sets if required. Bedroom two is a double-sized room with a full-width bank of in-built wardrobes and a particularly peaceful position at the rear, with glimpses into the rear grounds.

The main four-piece bathroom is housed within a turreted section of the building and therefore features a curving wall, into which a modern oval-shaped freestanding bath has been fitted.
