Set within an iconic red sandstone tenement by architect David Barclay, this spacious second-floor mansion flat offers exceptional family living in Dowanhill. The apartment delivers grand, characterful rooms through 2,364 sq ft: a huge L-shaped reception hall, a living room with twin bow windows and park views, a large dining kitchen with pantry, and five well-proportioned bedrooms. Original features—hardwood panelling, stained glass, moulded bannisters and cast-iron fireplaces—are largely retained and contribute to the flat’s immediate charm.
The corner position and dual frontage give particularly pleasant outlooks, including treetop views over Dowanhill Park, while the broad communal halls and polished stone entrance speak to the building’s high-quality period detail. Practical spaces include a plumbed utility cupboard, a four-piece main bathroom plus a separate WC and linen cupboard—useful for larger households. Tenure is freehold, and the property sits just minutes from Byres Road and Glasgow University, with excellent transport, shops and leisure amenities close by.
A mixed neighbourhood character should be noted: the immediate area includes cosmopolitan student communities and a wider professional crowd, which brings vibrancy but also busier local streets. The building has no lift and the flat is on the second floor, so access involves communal stairways. Energy performance is EPC D and the property sits in a high council tax band (G), both factors that will affect running costs. Prospective buyers should view in person to appreciate the scale, light and handsome original detailing.
