51 Lawrence Street, Dowanhill, Glasgow, G11

No. 51 Lawrence Street occupies a commanding, elevated corner position in Dowanhill. Set back from the street behind a private, gated front garden, the property enjoys a sense of separation and privacy that is increasingly rare. Double fronted, with its own main door and two substantial bay windows flanking the entrance, it has an immediate presence that feels closer to a townhouse than a flat.

Extending to around 2,000 square feet, the scale here is closer to a house than a flat. The proportions are generous throughout, with high ceilings, original detailing and a layout that flows naturally from the wide central hallway.

The front-facing, dual aspect lounge is particularly impressive. A large bay window draws in natural light and frames a direct view of Cottiers’ distinctive steeple, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and focus to the room. It is a space that feels both grand and comfortable.

Opposite, the principal bedroom mirrors that sense of volume, with its own bay window, original fireplace, closet and bathroom. Two further double bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests or home working, all well proportioned and thoughtfully positioned.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining space forms the social heart of the home. The kitchen dining area leads through to a formal dining room, with large west-facing windows bring in afternoon and evening sun, giving the room a bright and welcoming feel. A separate pantry/utility area adds to the practicality.

The family bathroom is well presented, with a freestanding bath and separate shower, and a separate WC sits adjacent. Storage throughout the property is excellent, including a walk-in wardrobe and additional cupboards off the hall.

In recent months, the current owner has carried out further improvements including a new hallway floor, new carpets, full redecoration and, notably, the installation of new double glazed timber sash and case windows throughout. 

The windows are a significant upgrade, retaining the traditional appearance while greatly enhancing warmth and efficiency.

Externally, the property enjoys a private front garden and the everyday convenience of a main door entrance. Lawrence Street itself is peaceful and residential, yet only moments from Hyndland’s cafés, restaurants and rail links, as well as the wider West End.

Spacious, well maintained and exceptionally well located, this is a substantial main door flat that combines period character with meaningful modern upgrades, in one of Dowanhill’s most sought-after addresses.
