Saltoun Street, Dowanhill, Glasgow

Located within one of the West End’s most admired residential settings, this beautifully appointed main door duplex conversion offers substantial and versatile accommodation over two levels. The property enjoys the rare combination of a private, south-easterly-facing entrance terrace and access to a tranquil residents’ courtyard to the rear, providing two lovely outdoor spaces in which to relax and unwind – features that can be hard to come by in the West End.

Saltoun Street 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.” The street is renowned for its handsome sandstone architecture, tree-lined setting, and enviable proximity to everything the West End has to offer. Byres Road and the University of Glasgow are just a few minutes away, placing an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants, and cultural attractions within easy reach.

Hillhead Underground Station and frequent bus services offer swift connections across the city, all while the immediate surroundings retain a calm, residential atmosphere. For anyone seeking a home with both vibrancy and tranquillity, this location is hard to match.

The property’s private entrance is approached via a short flight of steps leading down to the entrance terrace — a sheltered sun trap that can accommodate a handful of chairs and a couple of bistro tables, perfect for morning coffee with the paper or an evening drink on a sunny day. From here, the main door opens into a lower reception hall, giving access to all ground floor accommodation. This level comprises a second bedroom with en-suite (currently used as an additional television room), a third double bedroom (currently arranged as a dining room/study), and a well-appointed tiled shower room with white suite.

A carpeted staircase ascends to the upper level, passing a beautifully crafted built-in bookcase on the half-landing. On this floor, the principal bedroom occupies a peaceful rear-facing position overlooking the gardens of Athole Gardens. This generous suite includes a broad bank of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with white four-piece suite, tasteful tiling, his & hers wash hand basins, and a spa-like sense of calm.

The lounge enjoys an open aspect along Ruthven Street towards Byres Road, its twin oversized windows flooding the space with natural light. This elegant room is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, especially with the French doors that lead directly through to the dining-sized kitchen. The kitchen itself has a central dining area is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units, integrated appliances, and sleek stone work surfaces. Completing the accommodation is a guest WC/cloakroom, which also offers useful additional storage.
