Description
CLOSING DATE FRIDAY 28 TH MARCH AT 11 AM
Benefiting from an exceptionally peaceful yet central position in the popular West End district of Hillhead, this stunning three-bedroom main-door conversion offers beautifully appointed, feature-filled accommodation across two levels. It will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from professional couples and academics to growing families seeking substantial, versatile living space just minutes' walk from highly regarded local schools and numerous amenities.
Cecil Street is a charming address, situated just off the top of Great George Street in Hillhead. This prime location places the property within walking distance of all the amenities on Byres Road and the Botanics area along Great Western Road. Within minutes of leaving the property, you can access everything from supermarkets, shops, and boutiques to public transport links, cafes, and bars. The West End offers a variety of leisure facilities, including cinema, racquet clubs, the Western Baths, and The Gym Group (on Vinicombe Street).
Hillhead is also ideally positioned for easy access to inner-city green spaces, including the Botanical Gardens and Kelvingrove Park, both offering extensive parkland to be enjoyed year-round. This property is in a permit parking zone (W3), with permits available from the local council, allowing two permits per residence.
The home for sale is set within an attractive sandstone townhouse painted in a period-correct 'Gardenia' colour, giving the frontage a bright, eye-catching appearance with freshly painted sash and case windows. The property boasts a main door entrance, accessed via three shallow steps and a tiled, covered porch. The front garden is private, enclosed by traditional wrought-iron fencing and features low-maintenance materials along with a selection of pretty plants, shrubs, and bushes. To the rear, there is a fabulous, enclosed garden with direct access through a back door at the lower level of the property. Although the rear garden is shared with other homes in the building, the property for sale has the only direct access to the garden.
As a result, the current owners have enjoyed exclusive use of this space during their ownership. The garden is laid to lawn, with chipped pathways, planted borders, and a large outhouse that belongs to the property. A gate at the back of the garden leads to the residents' parking area, where the property has a private, allocated parking space (accessed from the lane at the rear).
Internally, this substantial conversion offers 1781 square feet of highly versatile family living space, presented in excellent condition throughout, filled with beautiful traditional features. From ornate cornicing and fully operational hardwood shutters to a stunning central fireplace in the living room, with beautiful bottle-green tiling and a wood-burning stove, the property combines these features with stripped and polished floors and modern neutral décor, creating a bright and comfortable living space full of character.
The attached photographs, HD video, and Matterport Tour will give you an idea of the property's size, style, and specification, but viewers are encouraged to visit the property in person to fully appreciate its charming details.
In brief, the accommodation comprises: a main-door entrance leading into a welcoming reception hall with a staircase leading down to the lower level, a stunning bay-windowed living room with ornate plasterwork, including an elegant ceiling rose, a rear-facing dining room currently used as a second sitting room and home office, and a beautiful carpenter-built kitchen with granite work surfaces and a charming roll-and-fold breakfasting unit completing the ground floor. A carpeted stairway leads down to the lower level, where all the bedrooms and bathrooms are located.
The principal bedroom is generously sized and benefits from a large en-suite bathroom with a white three-piece suite and a shower over the bath. Bedroom two is also spacious, offering room for a free-standing wardrobe, a drawer set, and a desk area, all overlooking the enclosed rear garden. Across the hallway, bedroom three can accommodate a double bed but is currently configured as a single room with a study area, a free-standing wardrobe, and a beautiful window seat with storage beneath, offering lovely views of the rear garden.
The main bathroom is well-proportioned and features a white three-piece suite with a shower over the bath, plus access to a large storage cupboard. The lower level also includes a fully fitted utility room with a washing machine, a ceramic sink, and shelving for towels and linen, as well as an extra cupboard under the stairs. The passageway to the rear door is shelved for the storage of footwear, garden tools, etc.
Given the substantial and flexible accommodation on offer, its superb central location, direct access to garden grounds, and private parking space, this is a rare and unique example within the area. As such, prospective buyers are encouraged to view the property at their earliest opportunity, as such homes are not often available on the market.
