Dalziel Drive, Glasgow, Glasgow City, G41

A refined upper duplex combining classical detail with contemporary flow.

Description

23A Dalziel Drive is an impressive upper duplex forming the principal portion of a handsome red sandstone villa in one of Pollokshields’ most established residential pockets.

The property is reached through a private entrance that opens into a well finished vestibule, styled in contemporary dark tones and laid with marble flooring. The space feels both practical and welcoming, with generous windows bringing in natural light and useful hanging space for coats and outdoor items. A neatly fitted WC is positioned just off the vestibule, providing convenient facilities at ground level. A glazed internal door leads through to the inner hallway, where the original fabric of the house begins to make its presence known.

From here, the staircase rises to a split level landing, a distinctive feature of the home and one that adds a sense of space and interest to the layout. The stair configuration creates a natural division between different areas of the property, with short flights linking half landings to the principal accommodation. A tall stained glass window casts soft light across the balustrades and woodwork, underlining the property’s original character without overwhelming the contemporary updates.

At the top of the stairs, the landing gives access to an impressive open living area. The sitting room, kitchen and dining space form one connected, open plan suite, allowing for easy movement and a pleasant sense of space. Large sash windows along the front and side elevations ensure the room enjoys excellent natural light. The kitchen occupies a well considered position within this space and has been thoughtfully modernised. Sleek cabinetry in a clean, contemporary finish is paired with generous worktops and integrated appliances, creating a streamlined and practical workspace. A central island forms the focal point of the kitchen and provides additional storage, preparation space and a casual spot for seating, helping the room function well both day to day and when entertaining. The adjoining dining area sits comfortably within the open plan layout, with enough space for a well proportioned table, making it easy to enjoy relaxed family meals or host larger gatherings. The overall arrangement ensures that cooking, dining and living areas are connected yet distinct, working particularly well for modern lifestyles.

The property benefits from four versatile bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with modern ensuite shower room, which is positioned to enjoy a peaceful outlook. Each bedroom offers flexibility of use as a bedroom, a home office or an additional sitting room allowing the layout to be adapted to individual needs. A beautiful bathroom with roll top bath sits off the hall.

The upper floor further enhances the home's versatility, featuring a large family room offering valuable extra living space. This room can serve as a second sitting area, home office or fourth bedroom, depending on preference with a conveniently located shower room positioned off.

Externally, the property benefits from a private south-facing garden to the rear, offering a pleasant outdoor space, along with a garage that provides secure parking and useful storage. Mature grounds surround the villa and add to the sense of greenery and privacy that characterises this part of Pollokshields.

Altogether, 23A Dalziel Drive offers well balanced, flexible accommodation, combining the character of a traditional villa with practical modern updates in a highly regarded residential location.
