Westbourne Gardens, Glasgow, G12

A landmark Westbourne Gardens residence, blending architectural distinction with expansive family accommodation in Glasgow’s most coveted setting.

Description

44 Westbourne Gardens is an exceptional townhouse forming part of one of Glasgow’s most striking 19th century terraces, designed by James Thomson and completed in the 1870s. The terrace is celebrated for its grandeur and uniformity, facing onto beautifully landscaped residents’ gardens, and is widely regarded as among the most desirable addresses in the West End.

The property has been well loved by the current owners, combining the elegance of the Victorian era with carefully considered modern interventions. The result is a home of rare quality: period detailing retained and enhanced, while the interior design, finishes, and services provide all the comfort expected of a contemporary family house.

The accommodation is arranged over four principal levels, with the grand reception hall setting the tone for the house. Ornate plasterwork, Terrazzo tiled flooring, and sweeping staircases create a striking first impression.

The drawing room, positioned on the ground floor, enjoys panoramic outlooks across the private gardens, with soaring ceilings, a marble fireplace, and tall sash windows flooding the space with natural light. Adjacent, the library provides an ideal setting for entertaining.

The bedroom accommodation is of outstanding proportions. The principal suite occupies the first floor, with a large bedroom, walk-in dressing area, and beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. Further bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, offering flexibility for family use, home working, or guest accommodation.

At garden level exists a bespoke fitted kitchen, which features a gas hob, integrated dual ovens and a large island unit with a generous opening through to the glazed sitting/dining room with expansive doors directly onto the south-facing rear garden. This creates a relaxed and informal living space. This floor also incorporates a utility room and tv room with inbuilt media unit.

Externally, the property enjoys access to the residents’ gardens of Westbourne Gardens, while the rear garden has been landscaped to provide a private haven with a terrace, lawn, and mature planting.

Location

Westbourne Gardens is one of the West End’s most prestigious addresses. Designed in the late 19th century, the crescent is characterised by its uniform Victorian terraces, landscaped residents’ gardens, and tree-lined outlooks, creating a rare sense of tranquillity in the heart of the city.

The property is exceptionally well placed for the full spectrum of amenities which define the West End. Byres Road, just moments away, offers an eclectic mix of independent boutiques, artisan cafés, and acclaimed restaurants, while Great Western Road and Ashton Lane provide further dining, entertainment, and cultural venues. The Botanic Gardens are a short stroll from the property, offering open green space, riverside walks along the Kelvin, and a celebrated glasshouse.

Educational provision is excellent, with a choice of highly regarded local and independent schools, while the University of Glasgow — one of the oldest in the English-speaking world — is close by and contributes to the vibrant cultural atmosphere of the area.

Transport connections are outstanding. Hillhead Underground station provides swift access across the city, while nearby Hyndland Station connects to Glasgow Central and Queen Street for onward travel throughout Scotland. The M8 motorway is easily accessible, linking to the wider motorway network, and Glasgow Airport is less than 20 minutes by car, offering regular national and international flights.

The combination of architectural distinction, local amenities, and connectivity makes Westbourne Gardens one of the most desirable and enduringly popular addresses in the West of Scotland.
