Property Description
Enjoying a ground floor position within an elegant red sandstone tenement, this generously proportioned three-bedroom flat enjoys a highly desirable West End location. Located just a stone’s throw from Byres Road and offering spacious and adaptable accommodation, the property combines the impressive proportions and period character associated with traditional Glasgow tenements with a particularly convenient setting close to an outstanding selection of amenities.
Internally, the accommodation is naturally bright hand of comfortable proportions with high ceilings and large windows allowing excellent levels of natural light into the principal apartments. A welcoming and unusually broad reception hallway creates an immediate sense of space and provides access throughout the property, while stripped timber flooring extends through much of the accommodation and complements the flat’s traditional character.
One of the most impressive rooms is the substantial main lounge, a wonderful living and entertaining space distinguished by a broad five section bay window which provides an abundance of natural light. The room retains attractive period detailing including ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose and a decorative fireplace with tiled insert. Its generous proportions offer considerable flexibility for different furniture arrangements and make this an especially appealing focal point of the home.
The dining kitchen is another particularly generous apartment, offering extensive worktop and storage space together with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs. Finished with light cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and metro-style tiled splashbacks, the kitchen provides a practical everyday living space with excellent scope for dining and entertaining.
There are three bedrooms, each offering useful and adaptable accommodation. Their differing proportions give considerable flexibility, whether required as dedicated bedrooms or to accommodate home working, guest accommodation or an additional sitting room. This versatility is one of the property's real strengths and allows the internal layout to be configured to suit a variety of lifestyles. The accommodation is completed by a three-piece shower room incorporating a large shower enclosure, wash-hand basin and WC.
Throughout the flat, the combination of generous ceiling heights, traditional timber flooring, substantial windows, decorative fireplaces, cornicing and ceiling roses provides a strong sense of period character. The predominantly neutral décor allows these original features to stand out and also gives a future purchaser an excellent canvas from which to personalise the accommodation.
The location is equally impressive. Highburgh Road sits immediately off Byres Road in the heart of Glasgow's West End, placing the property within exceptionally easy reach of the area's extensive selection of cafés, restaurants, bars, independent shops and everyday amenities. Byres Road forms one of the principal commercial spines of the West End and connects the surrounding residential neighbourhoods with the University of Glasgow and the Botanic Gardens. The University of Glasgow is also nearby, while Hillhead Subway station provides convenient connections to the city centre and wider Glasgow area. Byres Road itself and the surrounding Great Western Road and Dumbarton Road corridors are well served by bus routes, with Partick providing additional rail, Subway and bus connections. The wider West End also offers excellent access to green spaces and cultural attractions, adding considerably to the lifestyle appeal of this highly sought-after location.
