Dowanhill Street, Dowanhill

Owned and extensively improved and maintained by our clients for circa 40 years, is this absolutely outstanding six apartment mansion-style town flat. Forming part of a particularly handsome, red sandstone block and just steps from arguably some of the best amenities in the city, the home offered for sale is of an exceptional scale, with impressive, flexible living space throughout, alongside a wonderful collection of retained Glasgow style Art Nouveau features.

Designed by the renowned architect David Barclay and completed in the early 1900s, the property occupies the entire second floor of a stairwell of just three properties, with a generous living space of circa 2,500 sq. ft. This extends to: an immediately impressive reception hallway (currently used as a spectacular dining space) with ceiling cupula, six substantial main apartments (the two main front facing rooms having wonderful bow-style bay windows) alongside a stylish kitchen with casual dining space, bathroom, shower room and substantial, useful storage, utility and pantry space.

There is a wonderful adaptability to the space within the property. Currently, our clients enjoy the use of a fabulous drawing room, cosy-snug sitting/ television room a and study, alongside three superb double bedrooms. Equally, the space would comfortably offer four or five bedrooms, alongside fabulous living space if needed. The options to reconfigure, and make the space one's own are endless. Gas central heating is installed, while meticulously maintained residents gardens, private wash house/ storage space and resident permit parking, are offered at ground floor level. Highlights among the dozens of examples of beautiful original features are incredible leaded glass features, original fireplaces and elaborate, restored timber panelling. Outdoors, careful restoration and replacement has been undertaken to the roof of the property.

Set on the section of Dowanhill Street between Highburgh Road and Dowanside Road, the property is set within a particularly desirable pocket of Dowanhill. There is peaceful, relaxed feel, yet a super range of amenities, including the ever-growing range of independent shops, bars and restaurants of Hyndland Road and Byres Road are just moments away, while the nearby subway station provides quick-links to the city centre and beyond. All in all, a very special place indeed.
