Property Description
Within the exclusive Botanics Development on Hamilton Gardens, this immaculately presented two bedroom ground floor apartment occupies the sole position on its level, tucked away in a very quiet corner above the banks of the River Kelvin. The apartment benefits from an abnormally large private terrace, along with the convenience of two allocated private parking spaces.
Sheer wall to wall and ceiling to floor glazing stretches right across the principal living space, drawing the surrounding tree canopy into the home. The outlook is entirely unoverlooked, enveloped in a soft canopy of green, with little more than birdsong and the gentle trickle of the Kelvin drifting up from below. It is remarkably easy to forget you are only moments from the heart of the west end. The terrace itself is the property's standout feature, curtained on all sides by mature trees and offering a rare degree of privacy so close to the west end. A private gate grants independent access straight from the terrace.
The open plan kitchen, living and dining room forms the true heart of the home and is an all-encompassing area that flows effortlessly from cooking to dining to relaxing. Fitted by Nobilia in sleek handleless white gloss, the kitchen's base and wall cabinetry is nicely offset by a deep toned Silestone worktop and matching backsplash, while a full range of integrated Siemens appliances, including an electric oven, a three in one microwave, oven and grill, an induction hob with extractor, a fridge freezer and a dishwasher, sits neatly within the run of units. Beyond, the living and dining space offers ample room for both a substantial dining table and a variety of seating arrangements, all held beneath that same run of glazing and looking straight out onto the trees and river beyond.
The principal bedroom shares in the same leafy outlook, with full height glazing and a full wall of fitted sliding wardrobes. Bedroom two is equally well proportioned and again fitted with wardrobes, making for a comfortable second double or a versatile space for home working. Both are served by a contemporary three piece shower room, fitted with a walk in glazed shower enclosure and rainfall shower head and finished throughout in a fresh, crisp tiled scheme.
A welcoming reception hallway greets residents on arrival, with a walk in storage cupboard and a separate utility cupboard housing an integrated washing machine, all approached via secure video entry and a smart communal hallway with lift and stair access to the upper levels, this property most notably being the only apartment on the ground floor. Two allocated private parking spaces complete the practical side of the offering, a genuine rarity for an apartment of this type so close to the heart of the west end.
Hamilton Gardens forms part of the celebrated Botanics Development, built on the former grounds of the BBC Studios and set within the leafy Botanics district beside the Kelvin Walkway and the Botanic Gardens themselves. The address is superbly placed for the best of west end living, with Byres Road and its wealth of independent shops, delis and restaurants close at hand, alongside Great Western Road, the Western Baths and both Kelvinbridge and Hillhead subway stations for effortless access into the city centre. This is a property that will appeal strongly to professional couples and downsizers alike, drawn by the rare combination of exclusivity, an outstanding private terrace and a riverside setting that feels a world apart while remaining firmly within the west end's reach.
