Description
CLOSING DATE SET FOR MONDAY 20TH OF OCTOBER AT 11AM
A truly exceptional two bedroom apartment occupying the preferred first floor of a prominent sandstone townhouse, designed by distinguished architect John Baird and constructed circa 1847. This remarkable property is a magnificent example of a refined drawing room conversion and has a tremendous south-facing balcony with unobstructed views over beautiful green gardens.
The centrepiece of this superbly appointed home is undoubtedly the awe-inspiring front lounge, adorned with several rows of elaborate cornicing and completed by a breathtaking centre rose that is embellished with exquisite artisan “Cherub” murals. The open plan fitted kitchen is finished with sleek white cabinetry, and is complemented by a soft toned wooden trim echoing the hardwood floors that unfold throughout the accommodation. Careful consideration has been undeniably afforded to this design, with the chevron herringbone pattern fusing with the side panelling of the solid kitchen island, creating a seamless continuity that ties the space together with effortless elegance.
Alfresco entertaining and dining is then just a few steps away, as the private south-facing balcony is accessed directly from the kitchen through large doors. Enclosed by an elegant cast-iron balustrade, the balcony commands a pleasant outlook over the residents’ gardens and offers an enviable extension of the living space, perfect for quiet morning coffees to vibrant evening gatherings in one of Glasgow’s most historic and desirable settings.
The remainder of the interior has been carefully designed to optimise both space and natural light and includes two generous double bedrooms, each with a peaceful rear-facing outlook. The principal suite boasts a luxurious shower room and “wall to ceiling” fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom possesses an invaluable mezzanine space with dedicated stairway and contemporary glass balustrade, and is also serviced by a stylish shower room.
Set within one of the West End’s most sought after locations, Claremont Terrace is ideally positioned between the vibrancy of the West End and the convenience of Glasgow’s City Centre. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to Kelvingrove Park, the University of Glasgow, and an array of acclaimed restaurants and amenities.
