Description
Number 12 Crown Terrace is a bold and prominent, sandstone, end terraced villa and the property for sale is the first floor portion which includes the quite outstanding original drawing room with a full height front bay window which is due south.
This extraordinary property extends to circa 1,900 square feet and is in impressive internal condition having been comprehensively modernised by the present owner. The extensive improvements include a quality fitted kitchen, re-fitted en suite shower room, re-fitted bathroom, quality wooden flooring, replacement sash and case style double glazed windows and the creation of an amazing principal bedroom suite which includes a cleverly designed dressing room space.
The property forms part of a substantial, corner, terraced villa and has a wonderful south facing frontage to the tree lines terrace and then beyond to the large, mature residents' gardens which run along behind Highburgh Road.
Crown terrace was designed by James Thomson and built in two sections between 1873 and 1880.
The terrace is an opulent piece of Victorian design and was subdivided in 1913. By then the original stand-alone house of 1873 had become the end of the terrace. As a point of interest, it is thought that number 12 Crown Terrace was advertised on trams circa 1922 as the first all electric house in Glasgow.
