Spence Street, Maryhill Park, Glasgow

A unique substantial detached five/six bedroom home that has endured the test of time, enjoying unobstructed panoramic park outlooks and expansive views of the Campsie fells and the countryside north of Glasgow.

Veiled by a screen of mature greenery and set within immaculately kept garden grounds that fully surround the home, this handsome residence offers an increasingly rare combination of grand proportions with significant scope for improvement, presenting a truly compelling opportunity for a family to craft their "forever home" in a remarkably tranquil setting.

Spanning two expansive levels, the house is defined by broad traditional proportions and gorgeous features, most notably the striking box bay windows in the principal bedroom and living room, serving as perfect viewing ports to soak in the exceptional outlooks. Charming balcony projections add a further sense of architectural identity to the property’s facade.

As evident from the original accompanying photograph, the property is a fine example of the grand villas that defined Maryhill Park and the West End’s emergence as the premier residential enclave at the turn of the century. While the surrounding landscape has matured, the house maintains the same commanding silhouette and prominent character it possessed when first constructed, serving as a tangible link to an era of ambitious Glasgow architecture. It remains a home of undeniable stature, standing today as a testament to the enduring appeal of the area’s historic streetscape.

On the ground floor, a generously proportioned dining room flows seamlessly into a conservatory extension, which in turn opens onto the rear patio, creating a perfect setting for indoor/outdoor living. With the kitchen situated immediately adjacent, there exists an exciting possibility to combine these areas (subject to the necessary permissions), which would create a vast open contemporary social hub that would serve as the heart of the home.

The sleeping accommodation is comprised of five upstairs bedrooms and a lovely broad bay windowed downstairs bedroom, which could easily serve as an additional public room. Owing to the period of construction, the bedrooms are all very well proportioned, the smallest of which has been utilised as a dedicated home office.

Stepping outside, the external grounds are a testament to years of careful cultivation, offering a wonderfully private sanctuary screened by established shrubbery and mature borders. The south facing rear gardens are immaculately kept and present excellent scope for keen horticulturists, with a beautiful central cherry blossom tree serving as a vibrant seasonal centrepiece. Daily practicality is also exceptionally well catered for; a large sweeping driveway provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles, leading to a substantial double garage that ensures invaluable secure parking and the possibility of extensive storage.

This is a home that will resonate strongly with families and those seeking a quieter pace of life without sacrificing convenience. With immediate access to green space, it is perfectly suited to outdoor enthusiasts, while the nearby West End ensures a wealth of amenities, schooling and transport links remain close at hand. Enduring character, exceptional outlook and significant potential for enhancement; this is a rarely available opportunity to acquire a home of genuine substance in a notably scenic and coveted setting.
