About
Occupying a preferred first floor position within an elegant, converted sandstone townhouse in the heart of Dowanhill, this appealing one-bedroom apartment combines handsome period character with bright, comfortable accommodation together with a particularly enviable West End location.
The property is entered via an impressive communal reception hall, where striking original tiled flooring, ornate plasterwork and a sweeping staircase immediately set the tone for the quality of the building.
Internally, the apartment is well presented throughout and enjoys excellent natural light, with large windows framing attractive leafy outlooks and creating a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity.
The principal living and dining room is a particularly impressive apartment-sized reception space.
Measuring almost 18 feet by 18 feet, the room is enhanced by a magnificent bay window formation, beautiful original timber floors, intricate cornicing and period detailing.
The abundance of glazing floods the room with natural light throughout the day, while the generous proportions provide ample space for both entertaining and dining.
A separate fitted kitchen is accessed directly from the living area and offers a practical layout with a range of wall and base-mounted units.
The double bedroom is quietly positioned and is generously proportioned, featuring high ceilings, attractive original timber surrounds and large windows which continue the bright and airy feel found throughout the property.
A modern bathroom, complete with white sanitaryware and shower over bath, serves the accommodation.
The building is surrounded by mature trees and an attractive residents' garden, providing a peaceful setting rarely found so close to the vibrant amenities of Glasgow's West End.
The elevated first floor position further enhances the pleasant outlooks, with the principal rooms enjoying a green and leafy aspect.
Dowanhill remains one of Glasgow's most prestigious and sought-after residential districts.
The area is perfectly placed for enjoying the wide array of cafés, restaurants, bars and independent boutiques found on Byres Road, Hyndland Road and Great Western Road.
The beautiful open spaces of the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park are nearby, while excellent public transport links are available via Hillhead and Kelvinhall Underground Stations together with regular bus services.
The location is also exceptionally convenient for the University of Glasgow and the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital via the Clyde Tunnel.
This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a charming and characterful West End apartment, offering bright, well-proportioned accommodation within one of Glasgow's finest period buildings and enjoying all the advantages of a prime Dowanhill address.
