Kirklee Terrace, Kirklee, Glasgow

Captivating outlooks towards Ben Lomond and the Campsie Fells are enjoyed from this spectacular three/four bedroom third floor duplex apartment, formed within a substantial townhouse conversion on the iconic Kirklee Terrace, designed by renowned architect Charles Wilson and built between 1847 and 1863.

Owing to the property’s elevated aspect, several vantage points grant open green outlooks across treetops and traditional chimney pots towards Dumgoyne and the Campsie Fells, with Ben Lomond visible on clear days, an absolutely delightful backdrop to be enjoyed from one’s living room and kitchen.

The apartment’s two level layout affords exceptional versatility, with one of the lower bedrooms currently utilised as a brilliant dining space, brightened by a broad three section bay window. The fitted kitchen is very well equipped with an extensive range of contemporary cabinets that complement the butcher block worktops, alongside an anchored breakfasting island with a ceramic “Belfast” sink at its core. The accommodation is notably well spread across both levels and further benefits from an additional shower room alongside the main bathroom. The property retains many original features, including beautiful ceiling cornice work and stripped, high-quality handcrafted bespoke doors and shutters.

In addition to enjoyment of the expansive and neatly tended resident’s pleasure gardens, extending across the entire front of Kirklee Terrace, a private key allows for immediate access through a discreetly positioned private gate leading directly into the famous Botanical Gardens. This allows enviable possibilities for quick access to Byres Road and extremely suitable accessibility for West End walkers and families alike.

Kirklee Terrace is an imposing row of south facing terraces with an enviable situation, located just moments from the entrance to The Botanical Gardens. Leading schools by way of The Glasgow Academy and The High School of Glasgow are a short commutable distance, while the prestigious Kelvinside Academy can be admired after a very brief stroll. The West End’s main thoroughfares and vibrant amenities are also within walking distance, with a mixture of transport links and supermarkets readily available, making this all-encompassing duplex property a very compelling consideration.
