Description
Constructed early in the 20th century and set within mature, tree-lined grounds, this exceptional detached villa offers extensive family accommodation in a secluded, yet highly convenient, West End location. Set behind a screen of established trees and accessed via a private (in and out) driveway with electric gates, the home is a rare combination of period elegance, modern luxury, and versatile space—ideal for a large family who wish to reside within the Jordanhill School catchment area. In addition to its current grandeur, the property also benefits from planning permission to further convert and modernise the interior by creating more open space, as well as permission to convert the substantial detached garage and carport into an additional dwelling—offering exciting scope for development, extending family accommodation, or possible build to let opportunities.
The property lies less than three miles from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), making it an ideal base for medical professionals; while Byres Road and the University of Glasgow are both under two miles away, placing the very best of Glasgow’s West End within easy reach.
Behind its handsome stone façade, this substantial residence unfolds across three principal levels and showcases a wealth of ornate period features including wood panelling, fireplaces, ceiling cornices, and decorative pillars. Thoughtful modern upgrades have been carefully integrated to enhance comfort and functionality while preserving the home's original character.
