Seton House, 6 Seton Terrace, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31

Forming part of a handsome C-listed Victorian terrace within Dennistoun’s prestigious conservation area, this remarkable home dates back some 165 years and offers a rare opportunity to secure a property of true architectural and historical significance. Set across three substantial levels and extending to around 264 sq. m (2,842 sq. ft), the house enjoys a privileged position overlooking central pleasure gardens and lies within 20 minutes’ walk of Glasgow city centre.

Built in the height of the Victorian era, the house retains much of its original character. Tall sash and case windows to the front, decorative fireplaces, detailed cornicing and ceiling roses, and a sweeping staircase reflect the craftsmanship and proportions of the period. Over the years, the property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully modernised, ensuring that its heritage sits comfortably alongside contemporary living. Recent works include a retiled roof, energy-efficient replacement glazing to the rear, and the installation of an A-rated Atag boiler in 2019, still under warranty. Original flooring is preserved where possible, with sections of real wood laid in a herringbone pattern enhancing the charm of the reception spaces.

The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule opening into a grand reception hall, from which the sweeping stair rises to the upper level and a further stair descends to the lower ground floor. The front-facing lounge, illuminated by three tall windows that overlook the gardens, is an exquisite room with decorative fireplace and period detailing. To the rear lies a versatile dining or sitting room, and a guest w.c. The large breakfasting kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of modern wall and base units, together with an integrated double oven, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge.

On the upper floor there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en suite shower rooms, along with a stylish main shower room. The lower level adds further flexibility, with three additional double bedrooms each with its own en suite, along with excellent storage and direct access to the garden, making this space ideal for extended family, visiting guests or home working.

The south-facing rear garden has been landscaped to create a private, low-maintenance outdoor retreat with cobbled patio, artificial lawn and outdoor power points. At the foot of the garden is a substantial two-storey garage/workshop, fully serviced with power and lighting. Double gates open onto the rear lane, offering the option of secure off-street parking, a particularly valuable feature in such a central location.

Situated in a prestigious and historic address, the house places you at the heart of one of Glasgow’s most vibrant districts. The cafés, restaurants and independent shops of Dennistoun are on the doorstep, while Bellgrove station is just a five-minute walk away, offering direct trains to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond. The city centre is also within 20 minutes’ walk, providing world-class cultural, commercial and transport links. This is a home of exceptional scale and quality, combining the elegance of the Victorian age with the convenience of modern living in one of Glasgow’s most desirable locations.
