Athole Gardens, Dowanhill, Glasgow

A beautiful three/four bedroom upper duplex conversion in the renowned Dowanhill address of Athole Gardens, offering highly versatile accommodation, much of which is South-facing and the added benefits of access to shared resident’s garden to rear and of course use of the substantial central leisure gardens from which the address takes its name.

Located within one of the West End’s most admired terraces, this beautifully appointed upper duplex conversion offers substantial, characterful accommodation over two levels. With access to both a peaceful, South-facing communal garden and the stunning central residents’ leisure gardens at the heart of Athole Gardens, this is a particularly desirable West End home that will appeal to a broad range of buyers.
Athole Gardens is a superb address within the sought-after Dowanhill district — a peaceful pocket of Glasgow’s West End often referred to by locals as “the leafy village off Byres Road”. This location is particularly favoured for its beautiful sandstone homes, calm streets, and exceptional proximity to local amenities. The property is just minutes from Byres Road and the University of Glasgow, with a wide range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and public transport options (including Hillhead Underground Station) all within walking distance. Despite this convenience, the area maintains a quiet, residential feel — enhanced by the presence of beautifully landscaped central gardens.

The home for sale is held within an attractive blonde sandstone townhouse, believed to have been subdivided into four private dwellings. This conversion occupies the upper two levels and is the only residence on the top floor. Communal areas are rich in character and beautifully maintained, with standout features including a grand entrance hallway with Corinthian columns, decorative acanthus leaf capitals, and a Romanesque-style mural at the half landing. A corridor leads to the rear of the building where there is a door out to a beautifully kept communal garden with mature tree screening, lawn and well-planted borders, providing a tranquil green space for residents to enjoy.

Internally, this is a particularly bright and spacious home, offering airy, flexible accommodation that will appeal to everyone from professional couples to growing West End families who wish to remain within walking distance of Glasgow University and the many amenities of the West End. The interior combines attractive traditional features with stylish décor and well-proportioned rooms.
In brief, the accommodation extends to: private stair from the first floor to the second; welcoming reception hallway with coat storage and seating area; elegant front-facing living room with triple window arrangement and views across the central gardens; large rear-facing dining room, flooded with light from its South-facing aspect; well-appointed dining kitchen with integrated appliances and space for a breakfast table; third double bedroom currently utilised as a generous home office; stylish main bathroom with white suite and neutral tiling; and a large utility cupboard with washing machine and storage .

Upstairs, there are two bright South-facing double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is of excellent proportions and easily accommodates king-sized furniture. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double and sits beside a contemporary shower room with a white three-piece suite.
