Cleveden Drive Lane, Kirklee, Glasgow

An utterly remarkable Mews house, veiled from sight by a curious ivy clad timber fence, and harbouring a delightful south facing private courtyard. The location is discreetly poised alongside the Kelvinside Julian Allotments in the coveted Kirklee Area, rendering this “downsizer’s dream” as one of the West End’s, best kept secrets.

Many a passerby will have come to wonder just what lies behind the Mews’ curious cedar red timber fencing, however seldom are we treated to a glimpse, or even the possibility of living in what is undeniably a home of immense quality, outstanding configuration and enviable situation.

Spanning two levels, the home has a refreshingly pragmatic layout, a stunning living room is set above the beautiful Wren dining kitchen, the two connected by an imposing industrial metal staircase, with contemporary glazed sliding doors and vaulted ceilings that evoke a tremendous sense of scale. The living room is illuminated by a run of tall windows, lending a westerly outlook while a secondary south facing window grants natural views over the neighbouring allotments. The dining kitchen offers exceptional versatility with the adjacent “snug” serving as a dedicated office space, auxiliary living area or occasional sleeping space.

The main sleeping accommodation is quietly positioned to the rear, comprised of well proportioned double bedrooms that enjoy excellent natural light and a calming sense of privacy away from the main living areas. Invaluable for day to day practicality, the home benefits from both a main bathroom and a separate shower room, an arrangement that significantly eases the morning routine. Adding further to the Mews’ impressively efficient layout, a well placed utility room sits close by for laundry and additional appliances, while a useful walk in cupboard provides suitable storage provision.

The rare accompaniment of private outside space will “tick the last box”, the south facing courtyard forming a genuinely charming extension of the accommodation and posing as the occasional “sun trap” – weather permitting. Sheltered behind the ivy-clad fence and neatly framed by fitted planters, it offers a wonderfully secluded spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or relaxed entertaining in the warmer months. This low maintenance garden captures excellent light throughout the day and provides that coveted feeling of indoor/outdoor living, particularly special given the discreet Mews setting and the leafy outlook towards the neighbouring allotments.

31 Cleveden Drive Lane relishes its magnificent situation, being just a few moments stroll from the entrance to The Botanical Gardens on Ford Road. Leading schools by way of The Glasgow Academy and The High School of Glasgow are a short commutable distance, while the prestigious Kelvinside Academy can be admired from the end of the lane. The West End’s main thoroughfares and vibrant amenities are also within walking distance, with a mixture of transport links and supermarkets readily available, making this all-encompassing property a very compelling consideration for professionals, downsizers, and those associated with the local educational establishments.

With an exciting combination of comfort, privacy and position, this charming Mews home is a superb example of efficient, well considered living. Cosy yet cleverly configured, it offers a wonderfully secluded feel behind its curtained frontage, while placing the Botanical Gardens, Byres Road and the heart of the West End within effortless reach.
