Dundonald Road, Dowanhill, Glasgow

An outstanding three bedroom apartment occupying the top floor of Bennochy Lodge, a distinguished category “B” listed detached sandstone villa constructed around 1870 and situated on Dundonald Road in Dowanhill.

Forming part of one of Dowanhill’s original Victorian villas, this superb upper conversion offers generous, characterful accommodation extending to over 1,500 sq ft and is bathed in natural light thanks to a series of dormer and Velux windows. The property combines period charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, including a striking contemporary kitchen, a stylish four-piece bathroom, and excellent storage across the eaves and a walk-in wardrobe space servicing the main bedroom. The outlooks are simply breathtaking, with open south-west views over the West End’s traditional slate rooftops and tree canopies.

This apartment has real personality and individuality. The expansive floor area works hand in hand with the flowing roofline: angled ceilings, dormer bays and deep eaves create an ever-changing sequence of spaces. There are relaxed sitting “neuks”, and quiet corners for reading, working or storage, all without compromising the usable space within the rooms. The principal living/dining area in particular feels both open and cosy simultaneously – flooded with daylight from a broad south-west facing bay and overhead Velux, framing those far-reaching West End views and giving the whole room an elevated cosy lofted quality.

Bennochy Lodge sits within mature garden grounds on a particularly quiet section of Dundonald Road in Dowanhill, one of Glasgow’s most sought after and architecturally important West End pockets. From here you are within easy walking distance of Byres Road, the Botanic Gardens, Hyndland and the University of Glasgow, along with convenient transport links by bus and underground.
