Kirklee Road, Glasgow, G12

Magnificent, entire detached townhouse with private gardens and garage.

Description

Approached via a private driveway, 4 Kirklee Road is a substantial, detached, double-fronted sandstone villa of immense character and charm. Townhouses in their entirety and of this calibre seldom come to market, especially one that occupies a generous corner plot such as this one. As such the opportunity to acquire this property is very special indeed.

Once a property of two halves with two individual access points, both remaining, the property now offers tremendous versatility, either as single home or with the potential for sub division. This includes occupancy of a lower level, self contained lateral 2 bedroom apartment. which could provide an income opportunity, subject to acquiring the necessary permissions.

Internally, the home retains a wealth of original features, including elaborate cornicing, exceptional carved fireplaces, full height windows, a splendid staircase, parquet flooring, and a beautiful stained glass window. The accommodation is laid out across four levels and extends to approximately 4,666 sq ft. In its current configuration the house boasts four main reception rooms, five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

On the ground floor there are three reception rooms: the drawing room, dining room and sitting room (with pull down double wall bed), along with a breakfasting kitchen with integrated appliances. Of particular note is the lapsed planning consent that could see the kitchen extended into the existing lean to with a glazed profile, bringing huge levels of natural light into the property and expanding the footprint for occupants who prefer a more open plan "hub" in the house.

The first floor sees a further sitting room, three bedrooms (one with a dressing room/nursery) and a family bathroom. Whilst on the second floor is the billiards room with two further versatile rooms for storage or perhaps used as a home office.

The garden level has two bedrooms, one en suite, plus a well appointed generous bathroom and a home gym complete with a sauna as well as study area (which could be adapted to a kitchen if this level were to be configured as a self-contained apartment)

The property enjoys a complete wrap around garden whilst the larger, south west facing rear garden, provides a wonderfully private, secluded sanctuary in the heart of the city. There is also a detached garage and ample off street parking as the property has two private driveways.
