Kirklee Road, Kirklee, Glasgow

Occupying the upper portion of a distinguished detached villa conversion in Kirklee is this spectacular two bedroom home, that offers comfortable and exceptionally well proportioned living, with the outstanding benefit of a private driveway, incredible private garden and a substantial attic space.

Beyond the wrought iron gates, visitors are met by a cleverly crafted entranceway extension that is framed by expansive glass and a feature staircase flooded with natural light. This contemporary addition is very sympathetic to the architectural charm of the original detached villa and elicits a burning sense of excitement that sets the tempo for the accommodation within.

Having crossed the threshold, the home makes an instantaneous impression in terms of space and brightness. The interiors are generous and finished to an exacting standard in a modern, understated style that compliments the grand period proportions and evokes a calming sense of serenity. Discreetly veiled behind sliding doors, the beautiful stylish kitchen intertwines with the other social spaces, creating a seamless flow when entertaining yet remaining able to be tucked away when desired.

The property takes full advantage of the Victorian Villa’s enormous attic and has storage provision of a scale that is infrequently found in West End homes. The loft could be considered more useful than most, being accessed in this case via a dedicated original curved stairway rather than typical drop-down ladder. This, in conjunction with the sheer size of the home’s attic provides a sense of possibility that most discerning home most buyers can usually only dream of.

The private rear gardens are a real highlight, beginning with a neat gravel and patio section before opening into an unexpectedly generous lawn. Tiered planting and a colourful rockery bring depth, while an established tree and walled boundary shield those enjoying the space. With quiet seating spots, a charming water feature, and space for larger gatherings, the garden strikes the perfect balance between calm retreat and sociable entertaining.

2A Kirklee Road relishes its enviable situation, being just a few moments stroll from the entrance to The Botanical Gardens on Ford Road. Leading schools by way of The Glasgow Academy and The High School of Glasgow are a short commutable distance, while the prestigious Kelvinside Academy can be admired from very nearby. The West End’s main thoroughfares and vibrant amenities are also within walking distance, with a mixture of transport links and supermarkets readily available, making this all-encompassing property a very compelling consideration for professionals and young families.

With an exciting combination of scale, privacy and position, 2A Kirklee Road stands out as a perfect example of a home that marries the character of a Victorian villa with the ease of modern living and delivers a setting every bit as impressive as its address.
