Harviestoun, 23 Leslie Road, Pollokshields, G41 4PP

Sitting proudly in established grounds, Harviestoun is a symmetrically fronted, blonde stone villa extension to around 3,500 square feet. Our clients have been the custodians of the property for over three decades during which time they have sensitively modernised it with fixtures and fittings carefully chosen to compliment the original architectural design.

The accommodation in brief; vestibule through storm doors into a grand reception hallway, shower room/wc, a box bay windowed drawing room, a box bay windowed dining room, a sitting room/TV room, a three-piece shower room and an integrated dining kitchen. The kitchen includes Corian worktops, fitted cabinetry, oven, microwave/grill, dishwasher, sink and an induction hob on an island with an overhang fit for stool seating. A set of stairs in the rear hallway lead from ground floor to the original maid's room/bedroom five.

An exquisite staircase leads from the reception hallway to a galleried first floor landing lit by four beautiful stained-glass windows. There are then four sizeable double bedrooms at first floor level, two of which have fitted storage cupboards. A large four-piece bathroom suite has a shower above the bathtub, a gable end window and rare vitrolite tiling. A storage cupboard off the landing has original cabinetry and a ceiling hatch giving access into the attic.

A further staircase from ground floor leads to the rear garden level of the building revealing three large cellar spaces, two potential further bedrooms, a shower room wc and a kitchenette. This portion of the property has numerous uses depending on individual requirements with its own separate main door access, potentially a terrific home office or a self-contained flat for a young adult or an au pair.

The property has a security alarm system and gas central heating complimented by two real fires and two gas fires. Many sympathetic refurbishments have been carried out to the property; however, the manner of works allow period features to be retained such as ceiling plasterwork, mosaic floor tiles, exposed timber floorboards, fire surrounds, moulded woodwork and stained glass.

Externally, the property sits in landscaped garden grounds bound by perimeter walls with two sets of front facing gates, one for pedestrians and one for vehicles. The driveway has electric gates and leads to a double garage with a remote-controlled front door. The gardens surrounding the building have mature foliage, lawns, beddings and stone chipped paths. A purpose-built covered barbecue area is found in the back garden.

Superlatives and adjectives aside, the genuine allure of this property speaks for itself. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire not only a large family home but a jewel in the crown of Glasgow's historic architecture.
