11 Maxwell Drive, Pollokshields, Glasgow, G41 5DR

This exceptional and beautifully extended two bedroom lower conversion on Maxwell Drive is a truly unique home, blending rich period heritage with striking contemporary design. Forming part of what was once an elegant detached residence dating back to 1880, originally built for Clyde traders, the property retains a strong sense of history while offering a thoughtfully modernised living experience.

From the outset, the home impresses with its own shared driveway leading to a dedicated entrance, setting it apart from typical conversions and providing a sense of privacy and exclusivity.

Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and characterful. A welcoming entrance vestibule leads into a striking reception hallway that provides access throughout. The main lounge is a standout space, featuring a beautiful bay window formation, dual aspect, and a focal gas fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Two generous double bedrooms are positioned to the front and rear, offering flexibility and excellent proportions.

The property benefits from two well appointed bathrooms. The principal bathroom is particularly spacious, complete with a four piece suite including bath and walk in shower, while a second bathroom offers a modern three piece suite with shower enclosure, ideal for guests or family living.

To the rear, the home opens up into an impressive family space that flows seamlessly into a stunning extended dining kitchen. This open plan area has been designed for modern living and entertaining, with ample space for dining and everyday use. Bi fold doors create a natural connection to the outdoors and lead directly into what is undoubtedly one of the property’s most special features.

The private south facing rear garden is truly exceptional and incredibly rare for a property of this type. Generous in scale and beautifully maintained, it offers a perfect balance of lawn, patio, and mature planting, creating a peaceful and highly usable outdoor retreat. A covered paved seating area, complete with a striking glass canopy and traditional log burner, provides a unique setting for year round enjoyment, whether relaxing or entertaining on a summer evening.

Further benefits include gas central heating, a mix of double glazing and traditional sash and case windows, with five rooms featuring working wooden shutters. The property also boasts extensive private south facing garden grounds to the rear, complemented by well-maintained communal grounds to the front. A driveway provides off-street parking. The garage has been converted and is accessed from the garden. It is currently used as a home gym, adding versatility to this already impressive home.
