Property Description
Occupying a lofty third floor position within a beautiful red sandstone tenement at the broader end of Polwarth Street, this exceptionally spacious two-bedroom apartment extends to more than 1,200 square feet and offers wonderfully proportioned accommodation of a style and scale that is rarely available within a two-bedroom home in Hyndland.
Polwarth Street is widely regarded as one of Hyndland's more desirable residential addresses, admired for its handsome sandstone architecture, broad tree-lined setting and outstanding convenience for local amenities. The location is perfectly placed for enjoying everything that makes the West End such a sought-after place to live, with an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, independent retailers and boutiques found nearby in Hyndland, while Byres Road, Glasgow University and the Botanic Gardens are all within easy reach.
The property occupies a lofty top floor position and enjoys the sense of privacy, natural light and open outlooks that buyers have come to associate with upper-level tenement apartments. The building itself is particularly attractive and has an immediate kerb appeal that reflects the enduring desirability of this part of the West End.
Internally, the accommodation has been carefully maintained and upgraded, resulting in a home that is ready for immediate entry and enjoyment. Beautiful traditional features have been retained throughout and are combined with a tasteful specification that complements the character and proportions of the property.
A broad and welcoming reception hall immediately sets the tone for the scale of accommodation on offer, providing access to all principal apartments and offering a wonderful sense of arrival. The magnificent bay-window living room is an exceptional public space, flooded with natural light and offering ample room for a variety of furniture arrangements. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in scale, while the second bedroom is also a m comfortable double room that compares favourably with principal bedrooms found in many modern homes. A substantial bathroom and generous storage provision further enhance the practicality of the layout.
Particular mention must be made of the remarkable dining kitchen, which is quite simply one of the largest examples likely to be encountered within a traditional two-bedroom tenement apartment. Extending to almost twenty-five feet in length, the kitchen provides an extraordinary amount of floor space and offers enormous flexibility for modern living. In addition to extensive kitchen storage and preparation areas, there is ample room for a large dining table, informal seating and entertaining space, creating the type of sociable living environment that many buyers seek but seldom find within traditional apartments. For purchasers who enjoy cooking, entertaining or simply spending time together as a family, this room alone is likely to prove a compelling reason to buy.
Combining exceptional room proportions, beautiful traditional features, a ready-to-move-into specification and one of Hyndland's most sought-after addresses, this is a rare example of a traditional two-bedroom tenement apartment that genuinely offers house-like levels of living space.
