Athole Gardens, Dowanhill, Glasgow

An exceptionally well-located two-bedroom lower ground level conversion enjoying a peaceful yet central position within the highly desirable West End district of Dowanhill. The property is situated directly opposite the residents’ gardens at the heart of Athole Gardens, to which the owner enjoys access and within minutes walk of Byres Road & Glasgow University.

Athole Gardens is one of Glasgow’s most attractive and sought-after residential addresses, forming part of the tree-filled conservation area of Dowanhill which is regarded locally as ‘a leafy village just off Byres Road’. Despite its quiet and secluded atmosphere, the location is just moments from a wide selection of shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants. The University of Glasgow, Botanic Gardens, and Kelvinhall transport links are all within easy reach, making this an ideal base for professionals, academics, and downsizers alike.
The property forms part of an elegant blonde sandstone townhouse on the preferred curving section of Athole Gardens, facing south-east over the beautifully maintained central gardens. Number 27 has been subdivided into four private dwellings, each benefiting from access to an attractive landscaped, South-facing shared rear which is laid to lawn and features tasteful planting, and a summer house. It is immediately evident that the residents take great pride in the maintenance and presentation of both the building, shared interior spaces and the communal outdoor areas.

Accessed via a secure entrance door with intercom system, the building opens into an impressive communal hallway maintained to a high standard. The same attention to detail extends through the lower hall and out to the rear garden.
Internally, the property offers bright, well-presented accommodation with good natural light and a practical layout. The reception hall is entered through a glazed door with stained glass detail and leads to a spacious front-facing living room overlooking a sunken garden—an ideal, outdoor area which has been laid to low maintenance materials. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a broad range cooker with six-burner gas hob and extraction hood.

The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect, and overlooks the shared rear garden. The second double bedroom lies to the front of the property, offering an excellent degree of privacy between rooms—well suited to two individuals sharing or those working from home. The bathroom is fitted with a white four-piece suite and neutral tiling.

An annexed useful utility/storage room provides additional functionality and is accessed from the lower shared hall.

Given the versatile nature of the accommodation and superb positioning, the property is likely to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers including everyone from professional couples and West End families to students and academics who wish to reside near Glasgow University.
