Essex Drive, Jordanhill, Glasgow

Benefitting from an enviable position in the desirable district of Jordanhill, within a List 1 school catchment area, this instantly attractive three-bedroom red sandstone end terrace villa offers comfortable accommodation over two levels. It is certain to appeal to growing West End families and further benefits from an enclosed south-facing rear garden and a detached garage.

Situated on Essex Drive, just a few minutes’ walk from the ornate main gates of Victoria Park, this lovely family home is difficult to fault in terms of location. Jordanhill remains one of Glasgow’s most sought-after residential districts, particularly popular with families seeking access to highly regarded local primary and secondary schooling. In recent years, the area has also become increasingly desirable for medical professionals wishing to live within walking or cycling distance of the QEUH and Gartnavel Hospital.

Essex Drive is conveniently positioned for gaining rapid access to key road networks, making it an ideal base for professionals who commute throughout West Central Scotland. The excellent selection of coffee shops, boutiques and cafés in Broomhill can be reached within a pleasant fifteen to twenty minute walk, while the vibrant West End is approximately a ten-minute drive away (traffic permitting). Overall, this is a highly convenient and well-rounded address that caters perfectly to the needs of modern family living.

The home itself is an elegant red sandstone end terrace villa set within neatly maintained garden grounds which wrap around the front, side and rear. The current owner has clearly taken great pride in the gardens, which have been thoughtfully developed and carefully maintained over many years. The south-facing rear garden in particular benefits from excellent levels of sunlight and shelter, featuring raised planting beds that have proven to be highly productive. In addition, the property includes a detached garage which has been re-roofed and fitted with a new door in recent years.

Internally, the proportions are generous and the property has been professionally extended to the rear, creating a larger kitchen area along with a utility room and ground floor shower room. The extended section also benefits from solar panels installed on the roof.

In brief, the accommodation extends to: a welcoming reception hall with staircase leading to the upper level; a bright bay-window living room to the front; and a dining room to the rear featuring a gable-end picture window and semi open-plan access, via a couple of steps, to the extended kitchen. The kitchen leads through to a rear vestibule, off which there is a utility room and shower room. The former kitchen has been repurposed as a dedicated home office but could equally serve as an occasional single guest bedroom if required.

On the upper level, there are three bedrooms, including two particularly comfortable double bedrooms and a third bedroom with a front-facing aspect. A well-appointed shower room completes the accommodation.
