Devonshire Terrace, Glasgow, G12

Magnificent ground floor flat in the heart of the West End.

Description

Devonshire Terrace was designed by architect James Thomson and built c.1883 in a highly desirable locale within Glasgow’s West End. Number 8 Devonshire Terrace is a stone-built B Listed mid-Victorian townhouse with Flat 3 forming the main ground floor apartment. The property has been meticulously restored and maintained and was once the home of Adam Teacher of Teacher’s Highland Cream whisky, whose motif can still be seen in the impressive communal entrance hall.

The home is full of stunning original features including extraordinary painted ceilings and intricate gilded cornice work, stained glass, marble and carved timber fireplaces, beautiful full height sash and case windows and incredible chandelier light fittings. Spanning the ground and mezzanine level, the property extends to 2288 sq ft and begins with a spacious drawing room with sliding doors opening into the studio/ potential third bedroom. A hallway links through to the attractive contemporary kitchen which has an assortment of appliances including a range cooker, plenty of high and low level cabinetry, black granite worktops, an island unit and charming window seat along with a cosy electric woodburning stove. A spiral staircase off the kitchen leads upstairs to the mezzanine level.

The pièce de résistance has to be the principal bedroom that is positioned to the front of the property and is a mirror image of the studio room opposite. This spectacular room benefits from an en suite shower room and displays some of the finest features in the property. The spiral staircase leads up to a hallway and the second bedroom/office space which has en suite bathroom with floor to ceiling marble and a freestanding teak slipper bath lined in copper.

Flat 3 at 8 Devonshire Terrace is arguably one of Glasgow’s most beautifully restored residential buildings and a testament to the owners’ vision and superb sense of style.
