Forming part of the handsome Devonshire Terrace, this truly incredible, four apartment home occupies the entire ground floor plus mezzanine, and is without doubt one of the most impressive ‘feature–rich’ properties within Glasgow’s sought after West End.
Originally designed by the renowned architect James Thomson in 1883, this quiet, tree lined terrace originally comprised just nine terraced homes, with No8 being occupied by Adam Teacher of the Teacher’s Whisky family, whose motif can still be found on many of the original mahogany panels in the entrance hall, which must be one of the most grand pillared hallways in the City.
Devonshire Terrace has long been regarded as one of the West Ends most prestigious addresses, and benefits from a ‘closed street’ location which provides a very quiet, rural feel, yet is exceptionally well placed to take advantage of everything the area has to offer. Within minutes of leaving the property there are a selection of local bars, restaurants and boutiques, including Cafe Parma, and a Sainsbury’s local for day-to-day needs.
The home itself is formed over ground and mezzanine levels and is full of breathtaking original features, including; detailed painted ceilings with intricate gilded cornice work, stained glass, marble and carved timber fireplaces, beautiful full height sash and case windows and incredible chandelier light fittings. The property extends to around 2,300 Sqft, and in brief extends to; fabulous common hall, entrance hall, stunning bay windowed living room/bed 3 with original sliding double doors leading through to the south facing dining room, breakfasting sized kitchen and fabulous principal bedroom with en suite bathroom. A spiral staircase gives access to a further double bedroom and superb bathroom with free standing cooper bath. The accommodation is completed by the principal bedroom which is positioned to the front of the property and is the exact same size as the living room opposite. This room benefits from some of the most eye-catching features throughout the whole property, and has a pillared fireplace and original Mahogany dressing table with mirror. There is also an en-suite shower room with enclosed cubicle.
For recreation, residents are well placed to access several local parks, including the beautiful Kelvingrove Park and the Botanic Gardens, perfect for leisurely walks, and outdoor activities. The property is also conveniently situated near the University of Glasgow, making it an ideal location for academics, or professionals working at the institution. Hyndland is well serviced by public transport, with Hyndland train station, and a number of bus routes. The major road networks can also be joined with ease making this an ideal base for those looking to commute throughout central Scotland.
