Peacefully positioned within a quiet cul-de-sac setting in the highly regarded Athletes’ Village, this instantly impressive and beautifully formed detached contemporary villa offers outstanding, energy-efficient family accommodation arranged over three levels. Originally created to host international athletes during the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Athletes’ Village has transformed into one of Scotland’s most forward-thinking residential neighbourhoods — a place where intelligent urban design, architectural ambition and landscaped green space combine to exceptional effect.

The development was master-planned as a future-proofed residential quarter, conceived to demonstrate what modern inner-city living should look like: low-density streetscapes, generous green corridors, excellent pedestrian connectivity and a strong sense of place. Designed by a collection of respected, locally based architectural practices working in collaboration with the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council, the Athletes’ Village stands as a genuine celebration of contemporary Glasgow architecture and placemaking — and remains a benchmark for sustainable urban living across the country.

This superb family home enjoys a particularly tranquil position, with charming open outlooks and immediate proximity to the River Clyde, the Cuningar Loop woodland park, and scenic riverside walkways. Despite its peaceful setting, the property sits within easy reach of Glasgow Green, the Merchant City and the city centre shopping district, while also offering rapid access to major road networks — making it an ideal base for growing professional families or executive couples seeking space, calm and connectivity in equal measure.

Externally, the property benefits from a substantial, enclosed family garden, a two-car driveway with electric vehicle charging point, and one of the home’s most engaging luxuries — a private roof terrace accessed directly from the principal bedroom suite.

Accommodation

The accommodation is entered via a welcoming reception hallway, where a charming Victorian-style tiled floor provides an unexpected yet highly successful juxtaposition to the modern lines of the building. It is a memorable introduction to the home and sets the tone for the quality and thoughtfulness found throughout.

To the front of the property sits a dining-sized kitchen, well equipped with integrated appliances and offering ample space for a central dining table — a sociable, family-friendly room well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Through a broad sliding opening, the kitchen flows into the main living space to the rear, which enjoys open views over the garden and direct access via patio doors. Thanks to the home’s carefully considered design, these principal living areas have been left open plan by the current owners — creating a spacious, child-friendly environment that works beautifully for modern family life and allows the space to spill effortlessly into the garden during the warmer months. Also located on the ground floor are a fitted utility room and shower room, finished with a contemporary white suite.
The first-floor is home to three comfortable bedrooms, comprising two generous double rooms — both with built-in wardrobes — and a well-proportioned single bedroom, ideal as a nursery, home office or guest room. A linen cupboard is located off the landing, and the accommodation on this level is completed by the main family bathroom, finished with a white suite and shower over bath.

A further staircase rises to the uppermost level, which is entirely devoted to the principal bedroom suite — without question one of the home’s most appealing features. This hotel-style retreat offers a spacious king-sized bedroom, a dedicated dressing area with opposing mirrored fitted wardrobes, and a full-sized en-suite bathroom with shower over bath.

A full wall of floor-to-ceiling glazing and glazed doors along the west elevation opens directly onto the private, partially enclosed roof terrace. From here, there are attractive westward views and a lovely open line of sight along the landscaped soakaway — a tranquil, elevated spot to read, unwind, or enjoy a quiet glass of something as the sun sets, while the household settles below. Haven, escape — call it what you will — the principal bedroom is a rare and luxurious feature, where you can shut the door over and rest.
