About
Steeped in character and dating back to the 1860s, this delightful stone-built terraced cottage forms part of the exclusive Category C Listed Canniesburn Square, an intimate terrace of just five homes.
Beautifully restored and sympathetically modernised, the property effortlessly combines period charm with contemporary comfort, creating a home of exceptional quality in a wonderfully convenient setting.
Occupying a convenient position just off Switchback Road, the cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character within easy reach of Bearsden Cross, Anniesland and Glasgow's vibrant West End.
Every improvement has been carefully considered to respect the building's heritage, with original features complemented by high-quality modern finishes throughout.
A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into the reception hall, where excellent built-in storage immediately adds practicality.
The lounge is a particularly attractive room, enjoying windows to both the front and rear that flood the space with natural light, while a wood-burning stove provides a warm focal point and enhances the cottage's inviting atmosphere.
The breakfasting kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with sleek high-gloss cabinetry and ample workspace, complemented by integrated appliances, including a microwave combination oven, washing machine and four-burner gas hob.
There is also ample space for informal dining, making it a practical and sociable space for everyday living.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, while the contemporary shower room has been finished with full-height tiling and features a generous walk-in enclosure, with mains-fed shower.
Throughout much of the property, solid oak flooring and matching oak internal doors reinforce the high standard of finish, while traditional timber-framed sash and case windows preserve the property's period character.
Modern comforts include a Vokera combination boiler, providing efficient gas central heating.
To the rear, the south-facing landscaped courtyard offers a surprisingly private outdoor retreat, perfectly positioned to enjoy sunshine throughout the day.
Residents also benefit from parking within the courtyard to the front, a valuable addition in such a central location.
Canniesburn Square occupies an enviable position, quietly tucked away yet exceptionally well connected.
Bearsden Cross, with its excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and railway station, is only a short distance away, while Anniesland and Glasgow's West End are equally accessible.
The combination of historic character, modern specification and an outstanding location makes this a particularly appealing home for couples, professionals or those looking to downsize without compromising on style or convenience.
