Description
Set within an elegant blonde sandstone townhouse on one of the most exclusive addresses in Glasgow, this attractive and feature-filled traditional conversion occupies a prime West-facing position in Kingsborough Gardens. Long regarded as the jewel in the crown of Dowanhill, Kingsborough Gardens is renowned for its architectural elegance, peaceful setting, and beautifully maintained central residents’ gardens – to which the owner of this property enjoys private access.
The situation is second to none. Just a short stroll from the property, Hyndland Road provides an excellent selection of local amenities including cafés, specialist food stores, and independent shops. Popular eateries such as Epicures, Nostrana, and Caffè Parma are all nearby, contributing to the vibrancy of the neighbourhood. Sports enthusiasts are well catered for too, with Western Health & Racquets Club and Hughenden Rugby Club both within walking distance. Meanwhile, Byres Road is less than a 10-minute walk, placing a wider choice of shops, bars, and restaurants close at hand, alongside the cultural and academic heart of the University of Glasgow. This combination makes the property particularly appealing to young professionals eager to embrace the West End lifestyle, as well as students and academics who wish to live within walking distance of the university.
The property for sale forms part of a handsome townhouse that has been thoughtfully subdivided into eight individual dwellings. Entry is via a secure door with intercom system, and the shared hall and stairway are in excellent order, showcasing original period features enhanced by bright contemporary décor. The home itself is positioned on the second floor, accessed via the left-hand door from the upper landing.
Internally, the accommodation offers bright and comfortable proportions that will suit an individual or couple. The impressive West-facing windows ensure superb natural light, particularly in the afternoon and evening. In brief, the layout comprises: welcoming entrance hall, a broad living room with feature fireplace and space for dining by the window, a generous king-sized bedroom with ample room for a desk or home working area, and a fitted bank of wardrobes to one side. The kitchen is a neat galley-style with wall and base mounted units, worktop space, and a range of integrated appliances including an oven, hob, extractor and fridge/freezer. Completing the layout is a well-presented shower room with a white suite.
On-street parking is available outside on a first come, first served basis, with resident permits obtainable from the local authority for a reasonable fee.
