Buckingham Terrace, Botanics, Glasgow

Situated within an impressive, South-facing, stone-built terrace in the Botanics district of Glasgow’s West End, this superb one-bedroom top-floor conversion is one of the finest examples to grace the market in 2025 and offers peaceful, minimalistic yet feature-filled living quarters that are certain to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers — especially when the central but leafy position is considered.

Buckingham Terrace was designed by J. T. Rochead circa 1850 and is a beautiful sandstone terrace with Renaissance detailing, set within a south-facing elevated plot. The terrace is without doubt one of the most attractive examples in the area and features bay windows at first-floor level with beautiful, ornate cast-iron balconies. The address is set back from Great Western Road within a pretty plot lined by mature trees and a neat residents’ lawn. The property’s front door is within seconds’ walk of the top of Byres Road and the main gates to the renowned Botanic Gardens. As such, it is possible to gain immediate access to a tremendous selection of bars, boutiques and restaurants, and Glasgow University’s main campus is just 0.5 miles away.

As you will see from the attached photographs and HD video, this beautiful upper conversion is a fantastic example — the likes of which are rarely seen. This is perhaps, in part, due to the fact that so many townhouse conversions are designed to optimise bedroom number, whilst this property has been formed to optimise space, light and beauty. It is one that you simply have to see in person and, upon arrival in the dining hall and behold the skylight above and turn left to face the living space you are, in an instant, transported away from the centre of the West End by quietude, leafy outlooks and distractingly pretty traditional features that complement the beautifully maintained living space.

In short compass, the accommodation extends to: reception hall with prism-shaped roof lantern and space to dine, with curtained opening to the full-width open-plan kitchen and living room which, facing south, is flooded with natural light; substantial principal bedroom with space for a large free-standing wardrobe; and an elegant traditional bathroom with white suite including a roll-top bath.

There is also a private attic storage space.
