Flat 3, 7 Crown Circus, Glasgow, G12

Description
Flat 3, is a fine upper duplex style property occupying the top two floors of number 7 Crown Circus. The Circus is a special piece of Glasgow’s historical architecture and rightly deserves its category ‘A’ listed protected status. The terrace dates from 1858 and was designed by the renowned architect James Thomson. The Circus is a classical symmetrical U-plan terrace comprising a 24-bay bow curve with 2-bay pavilions.

The exterior stone is honey coloured polished ashlar, all of which was sensitively restored some 18 years ago with the support, approval and guidance of Historic Scotland. The windows of the Circus are all 4-pane sashes, and the doors are flanked by Roman Doric columns on pedestals except for numbers 6 and 7, which instead have pilasters and Doric entablature. There is a feature continuous ashlar balustraded balcony with urn finials at 1st floor and upper floor windows.

Flat 3, 7 Crown Circus has wonderful open aspects from its elevated position. The eye is drawn towards the southeastern view straight over adjacent Dowanside Road and on to architecture and structures of the West End, Glasgow University and Park Circus above Kelvingrove.

Flat 3 is exceptionally well finished and it imbues a strong feeling of welcome. Period features have been sensitively retained and preserved over the years.
