Spacious four-bedroom Victorian duplex with period features, private front area and shared garden near Botanic Gardens..
Large upper-duplex apartment approximately 2,481 sq ft
Set across the upper two floors of an elegant sandstone villa, this substantial four-bedroom duplex delivers grand Victorian proportions and abundant period detail. High ceilings, original woodwork, box bay windows and two feature fireplaces create an immediate sense of character and scale. The wide entrance hallway is large enough for dining and leads to a formal front lounge, a well-equipped kitchen with pantry, and a double bedroom on the lower level.
Upstairs the accommodation is versatile: an exceptional 29-foot sitting room with dual aspects, a bright home office/playroom, two further double bedrooms (one en-suite), a large family bathroom with roll-top bath and a walk-in dressing room that could serve as a small bedroom or study. Practical features include gas central heating and secondary glazing, while the property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Outdoor space comprises a private front seating area and a rear shared garden used by just two flats. Parking is on-street. The freehold tenure is unusual for an apartment and the size (approximately 2,481 sq ft) makes this a rare West End offering close to the Botanic Gardens, Byres Road amenities and well-regarded local schools.
Notable drawbacks are stated plainly: the property has an Energy Efficiency Rating of D, on-street rather than private driveway parking, and the rear garden is shared. The wider area is classified as having deprivation indicators despite Kelvinside’s generally prestigious reputation. Council tax is moderate. Buyers should also note the multi-storey layout with internal stairs between levels.
This home will suit buyers seeking substantial period living in a prime West End location who value space, original features and proximity to green spaces and local amenities. It also offers scope for cosmetic updating or reconfiguration to suit modern living needs.
