4 bedroom terraced house for sale

Owned by our client since 1985, this quite extraordinary home is a rare example of a property that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved.

The property is situated towards the top of Dowanside Road and forms part of a substantial red sandstone terrace which was designed by David Barclay and built at the beginning of the Edwardian period. Number 57 occupies a prominent corner position on Dowanside Road and Dowanhill Street.

This is a unique home with seven main rooms and in addition there is a dining kitchen, a ground floor W.C., first floor bathroom, a separated shower room and a large utility room.

Extending to around 3,500 square feet, it has stunning original features throughout including stained/leaded glass windows, wooden panelling and floors, a “galleried” upper landing and a large stained glass leaded cupola, restored by our clients.

Dowanside Road is a prime West End address and is extremely convenient for Hyndland Road and Byres Road. It is perfect for buyers associated with Glasgow University and several local schools including Notre Dame, Hyndland, Kelvinside Academy and The Glasgow Academy. The West End offers countless amenities and local hospitals include Gartnavel General and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (accessed from the Clyde Tunnel ). The house is within easy reach of Dowanhill Park and the famous Botanic Gardens for local green areas.
