Property Description
Occupying the lower ground floor level of Ardlea, an impressive detached Victorian sandstone villa dating from circa 1875, this substantial three bedroom main door conversion enjoys a prominent corner position at Horselethill Road and Victoria Circus in the heart of Dowanhill.
Entered through its own private front door, the apartment offers generous, flexible accommodation with considerable scope for a purchaser to personalise the interior to suit their lifestyle.
At the heart of the home is an exceptionally spacious living room extending to almost 25 feet in length. With a focal point fireplace, distinctive raised floor area, and broad front-facing window, it provides an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. A useful adjoining room, currently used as a study and storage area, offers valuable additional flexibility.
The bright fitted kitchen features a range of cabinetry, a breakfast bar and two front-facing windows overlooking the attractive communal grounds.
There are three well proportioned and versatile bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a side facing bay window, while the second bedroom features a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The third bedroom, currently used as a home gym, could equally serve as a guest room, nursery or additional home office.
The accommodation is completed by a three piece bathroom and an excellent selection of internal storage cupboards. A substantial externally accessed communal store provides further practical storage.
Ardlea is surrounded by beautifully maintained communal gardens, with expansive lawns, mature trees, established planting, and peaceful seating areas. This secluded, leafy setting creates a genuine sense of country living, offering a tranquil escape from the city while remaining ideally placed in the heart of Glasgow’s West End.
A driveway to the front offers highly convenient off street parking for residents, with residents’ permit parking also available on the surrounding streets.
Horselethill Road enjoys a peaceful yet exceptionally convenient position within sought after Dowanhill. The Glasgow Botanic Gardens, University of Glasgow and a number of highly regarded schools are all within easy walking distance.
Byres Road is also only a few minutes’ walk, offering an outstanding selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, artisan food retailers and established West End institutions. Hyndland provides further amenities, railway connections, and excellent public transport links throughout Glasgow.
Combining the architectural character of a Victorian villa with generous accommodation, private main door access, attractive gardens and an outstanding West End location, this distinctive home presents a rare opportunity in one of Glasgow’s most desirable residential districts.
