Ashburton Road, Kelvindale, Glasgow, G12 0LZ

Elevated above Ashburton Road behind a curtain of established hedging, this three bedroom semi detached house pairs a wealth of original stained glass and period proportions with a peaceful rear garden and detached garage in Kelvindale.

A glazed entrance porch capitalises on this raised position, the terracotta tiled floor and floor to ceiling glazing frame an outlook across the opposing treetops.

The hallway beyond has stripped timber floorboards, a store cupboard and pragmatic storage tucked beneath the staircase.

88 Ashburton is wonderfully positioned at the cross section of Weymouth Drive, as a result it benefits from a particularly open position, with no house immediately opposite – which is so often the case in Kelvindale and other West End suburbs.

The lounge is to the front of the house, where a broad bay window shares the same south westerly outlook.

Timber floorboards run underfoot and the room is anchored by a cast iron fireplace with green tiled insets, now fitted with a stove for cosy winter evenings.

Stepped picture rail detailing, an arched alcove and a full wall of built in shelving lend real individuality, with ample space for displays.

The dining kitchen occupies the rear of the house and is arranged around a bay window that overlooks the garden.

It is fitted with a range of white shaker style base and wall units, several with glazed doors, complemented by dark work surfaces and a deep navy metro tiled splashback, along with an integrated oven and hob.

A separate utility room houses the boiler, a sink and space for further appliances, with a door opening directly onto the rear garden.

The staircase rises to a sizeable landing, where a striking triple window of leaded stained glass forms a jawdropping centrepiece.

Its rose and bud motifs reminiscent of the famed classical Glasweigan style, and casts shimmers of colour across the stairwell.

The two front facing bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, each with timber framed windows, and the second also benefits from built in storage.

The third bedroom overlooks the rear garden and retains a charming cast iron fireplace, with its sash window crowned by a pane of stained glass.

Currently used as a music room, it would equally suit a nursery, single bedroom or home office. The bathroom continues the theme with a leaded stained glass sash window above a timber sill shelf.

It is fitted with a white three piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, a washstand basin on a polished steel frame, with a band of heritage green tiling offering a nod to the age of the house.

The rear garden is a private and secluded space, laid out with a gravel path winding between mature shrubs, raised beds and flowering perennials, with room for outdoor seating to enjoy the evening.

A detached garage sits alongside, providing secure parking or useful storage.

The front garden is tiered and reached by a flight of steps from the street, giving the house a pleasing sense of elevation and privacy.

Kelvindale is a peaceful residential neighbourhood on the northern fringe of Glasgow's West End, with Kelvindale station within walking distance for direct services to Glasgow Queen Street.

Dawsholm Park and the Kelvin Walkway offer woodland walks and cycle routes close by, while the shops, cafes and restaurants of Great Western Road, Hyndland and Byres Road are all within easy reach.

Kelvindale Primary School and Kelvinside Academy are both nearby. This is a characterful family home combining period charm, a private garden and a garage.

It will appeal to growing families and to professionals working locally, including those at Gartnavel General Hospital just a short drive away, as well as anyone seeking a substantial house in a well connected West End setting.
