Princes Terrace, Glasgow, Glasgow City, G12

A classic West End duplex with a private south facing garden

Description

7 Princes Terrace offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully maintained main door West End duplex in one of Glasgow’s most admired terraces. The house combines traditional Victorian features with comfortable, well considered modern updates, creating a home that feels both welcoming and beautifully balanced.

The ground floor opens into the well proportioned public rooms typical of these terraces. The drawing room, with its parquet flooring and detailed cornicing, is a bright, comfortable space, especially in the afternoon light. Tall windows look onto mature greenery, and the combination of wall panelling and the marble fireplace adds a gentle sense of character. The adjoining dining room offers a slightly more traditional feel, with its timber floorboards, fireplace and deep bay window creating a calm and welcoming setting. The soft green wall tones complement the outlook onto the trees beyond, giving the rooms a natural connection to their surroundings.

The contemporary kitchen provides a bright, practical workspace, enhanced by its outlook over the south facing rear garden. Clean-lined cabinetry, high spec appliances and a distinctive monochrome tiled floor give the room a fresh, modern feel while still sitting comfortably within the period setting.

Accommodation across the lower level is notably versatile, with generous rooms that are well suited to family use, guest accommodation or working from home. The bedrooms here are particularly bright, with large windows drawing in garden views, and the modern bathrooms, one styled in soft natural tones, the other crisp and contemporary ensure the house works well for day to day living.
The principal bedroom is a calm and spacious room with ensuite shower room, refined decorative details and direct access to the garden terrace, creating an appealing connection to the outdoors. Additional bedrooms are similarly comfortable and well proportioned.

The south facing garden itself is a standout feature: neatly landscaped, enclosed by mature planting and offering a combination of lawn, terrace and a charming stone outbuilding. It provides a quiet, private outdoor space that is unusual to find in such a central West End location.

Altogether, 7 Princes Terrace is an elegant yet relaxed home, offering generous accommodation, attractive period features and a wonderful garden all set within one of Glasgow’s most sought after residential terraces.

Location

7 Princes Terrace is set on one of Dowanhill’s most beautiful and architecturally striking residential streets. The terrace is lined with grand sandstone townhouses, each featuring elegant bay windows, decorative stonework and elevated entrances that give the street a distinctive period charm. A graceful treelined vista runs through the centre of the terrace, introducing a remarkable feeling of light, greenery and calm to this sought after West End location.

Dowanhill itself is one of Glasgow’s most sought after conservation areas, known for its leafy surroundings and classic West End character. Despite its tranquil setting, the location is just a short walk from Byres Road, where a wide range of cafés, restaurants, independent shops and local amenities can be found. Excellent transport links, including nearby underground and rail connections, make the area well suited for access to the city centre and beyond, while the University of Glasgow and the popular neighbourhood of Hyndland are also within easy reach.
