Belhaven Terrace West, Dowanhill, Glasgow

Located on one of the most sought-after terraces at the edge of Dowanhill, this breathtaking four-bedroom main door duplex offers an extremely rare combination of luxurious interior finishes, private south-facing garden, and a secure garage — all within minutes’ walk of Byres Road, Glasgow University, and the Botanic Gardens.

Belhaven Terrace West is an elegant West End address, known for its grand townhouses and proximity to the amenities of both Dowanhill and Hillhead. Quietly positioned yet highly convenient, this peaceful residential location is just 0.3 miles from the entrance to the Botanic Gardens and under 10 minutes’ walk from the heart of Byres Road, where you’ll find a wide variety of popular bars, restaurants, cafés, and specialist retailers. Excellent public transport options are within easy reach, including Hillhead Subway Station, and those commuting by car can benefit from quick access to the Clydeside Expressway and M8 motorway.

The home for sale is held within a substantial blonde sandstone townhouse which has been tastefully redeveloped to create a small collection of luxury dwellings. Number 18A is a main door duplex conversion with a truly exceptional specification. The building and surrounding grounds are immaculately maintained, and the property comes with the significant benefit of a private garden, gated patio, and a large garage – features that are rarely available in this part of the city.

Internally, the property is presented in beautiful condition with an outstanding level of finish throughout, following input from leading London-based interior designers. Access to the extremely private main door entrance is via stone steps that lead to the lower ground level where you are initially greeted by a lovely front courtyard area, laid to flag stones and lit with incandescent courtesy lighting in the evening. This additional, sheltered outdoor space could be utilised for setting out seating and potted plants for year-round use, regardless of weather conditions. Once inside, an entrance vestibule provides access to the fourth bedroom (currently used as a beautiful home office) and gives way to a long reception hallway that provides access to the three king-sized bedrooms with staircase leading downward into the main body of public space. The main living room is exquisite - a generously sized, South-facing and therefore bright public space with elegant, stylish décor and full-height glazed doors that open directly onto the private south-facing garden. The kitchen is equally impressive, with sleek cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances and a peninsula unit with breakfast bar – perfect for casual dining and entertaining. The kitchen too has a full-height door straight into the garden – handy for carrying out drinks and snacks into the oasis-like South-facing Garden.
A separate cinema room offers the ideal setting for cosy film nights or could be repurposed as a home office, gym or children’s playroom. A utility room and guest cloakroom along with abundant purpose-built storage space complete the lower level.
Back on the entrance level there are four bedrooms, three of which are of comfortable king-sized proportions (one currently modelled as a stunning dressing room) and benefit from en-suite facilities and, as mentioned, the fourth bedroom is of single-sized proportions and is currently used as a luxurious home office with large cupboard off. The principal suite is of superb proportions and exudes luxury – with extensive fitted storage, a beautifully tiled en-suite shower room, and a bespoke Scandinavian-style sauna (2–3 person) that creates a true spa-like experience at home.
The private garden is a key feature of this home – enclosed, south-facing, and split between patio, artificial lawn and raised beds planted with well-established pleached trees, it offers an extremely rare slice of outdoor living in one of the city’s most desirable postcodes.
For added peace of mind, the property benefits from a high-tech security system which includes upgraded high-definition cameras and a remotely operable alarm – ideal for those who travel regularly or simply value enhanced privacy and protection.
