Property Description

Classic Hyndland elegance is married with fetching contemporary finishes and striking decor in this immaculately presented two bedroom apartment, occupying the second floor of a tenement on Novar Drive, complete with a gorgeous separate dining kitchen.

Novar Drive is one of a number of streets that give Hyndland its celebrated character, with long winding rows of sandstone tenements, an assortment of bay windows and a settled and serene residential feel.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully transformed, with special attention given to retaining the elements of period character that help to separate apartments of Hyndland as the “cream of the crop” of West End living. Stripped timber floorboards flow through the hallway, lounge and main bedroom, ensuring warmth and continuity from room to room, while decorative moulded trims frame the ceilings of the principal rooms. The sash and case windows have been fully renewed and are double glazed, keeping the traditional look of the building while adding practical and measurable comfort throughout the seasons.

The lounge is a wonderful room, arranged around a four window bay that overlooks Novar Drive. The ceiling is an elegant feature, with layered moulded trims forming a series of panels that follow the line of the bay and give the room real presence and accent the contemporary light fitting. A traditional cast iron fireplace with delightful tiled inset and timber mantel forms a natural focal point, with a further recess meaning and there is ample space for a variety of furniture layouts.

The dining kitchen deserves special attention. Finished with crisp white wall and base units, black bar handles and a striking “zellige” style splashback in deep green, with an artisanal glaze that shimmers in tone from tile to tile. The kitchen is appointed by an integrated oven, electric hob with extractor hood, and space for free standing appliances. A slate tiled floor adds contrast underfoot, while a tall sash window at the far end frames a green outlook over the trees and provides a lovely backdrop for daily dining and entertaining.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles and are at opposite ends of the hallway, giving a welcome degree of separation for those sharing, working from home or hosting guests. The main bedroom has timber floorboards and a tall sash window looking out to the front, while the rear bedroom enjoys a quieter and leafy outlook. The shower room has been stylishly updated with a vessel style sink, separate shower enclosure, wood effect flooring, and dado panelling in soft green tones that marries with the soft tiled finish.

Novar Drive sits in the heart of Hyndland, lined with handsome red sandstone terraces and superbly placed for everything the West End has to offer. The cafés, restaurants, delis and independent shops of Hyndland Road are only a short stroll away, including the eponymous Novar Drive Cafe, while Byres Road, the University of Glasgow and the Botanic Gardens are all within easy reach. Hyndland station is a short walk from the door, providing quick rail links into the city centre and beyond, while the Clyde Tunnel, the Clydeside Expressway and the motorway network are all readily accessible by car, with the tunnel offering a direct route to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Families are equally well served, with the property falling within the catchment for the well regarded Hyndland Secondary School and a strong choice of independent schools nearby, including The Glasgow Academy, The High School of Glasgow and Kelvinside Academy.

Elegant period proportions, sharp contemporary finishes, a superb separate dining kitchen and an outstanding West End setting all combine to forge a home that is ready to be lived in. It will especially appeal to medical professionals, academics and those associated with the University, as well as young professionals and anyone seeking a stylish and characterful base in Hyndland.
