Property Description
Occupying a particularly desirable position towards the preferred end of Essex Drive, where the street broadens and feels just a bit more quiet, this attractive extended three-bedroom red sandstone mid-terrace villa offers comfortable family accommodation, tremendous scope for modernisation and has the advantage of an enclosed south-facing rear garden, all within the coveted Jordanhill List 1 school catchment area and just moments from Victoria Park.
Essex Drive is one of Jordanhill's most established residential addresses and remains highly sought-after by families looking to secure accommodation within catchment for the area's renowned schooling. The property is situated only a short walk from the ornate main gates of Victoria Park, one of Glasgow's finest public parks, while the excellent selection of cafés, coffee shops, restaurants and local amenities in nearby Broomhill can be reached within a pleasant walk. The location is also particularly convenient for gaining rapid access to the West End, Clydeside Expressway, Clyde Tunnel, QEUH and Gartnavel Hospital, making it an ideal base for professionals and growing families alike.
The home itself is an elegant red sandstone mid-terrace villa which has been thoughtfully extended to the rear, creating additional living space and enhancing the overall versatility of the accommodation. While the property would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, it offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to create a substantial family home in one of the area's most desirable locations.
The accommodation extends to a welcoming reception hall with staircase rising to the upper level, a bright bay-window living room overlooking the front gardens and a spacious dining room to the rear. A short flight of stairs leads down into a substantial extended family living area which enjoys direct access to the rear garden through south-facing patio doors and offers excellent potential as a family room, garden room or informal entertaining space. The ground floor also features a galley-style kitchen, rear porch and a convenient cloakroom/WC.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The enclosed south-facing rear garden enjoys excellent levels of natural sunlight throughout the day and provides a private outdoor space with ample room for family life, gardening and outdoor entertaining during the summer months
Offering generous accommodation, a highly adaptable layout and exciting potential for improvement, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional family home in a prime Jordanhill setting.
