Highburgh Road, Flat 1/2, Dowanhill, Glasgow, G12 9EF

Positioned on the edge of Dowanhill, just minutes’ walk from Byres Road and the University of Glasgow, this exceptional south-facing first-floor four/five-bedroom home is considered one of the largest examples of its kind in central Scotland. Occupying a stunning corner position, the property enjoys beautiful open views over Dowanhill Park.

40 Highburgh Road forms part of an impressive red sandstone tenement with a return frontage onto Queens Gate. The building was designed by the late David Barclay of H & D Barclay in collaboration with G. S. Kenneth between 1898 and 1912, and are distinguished by their particularly ornate detailing. Features include elegant bowed windows and elaborate stained and painted glass within the upper fanlights and sashes, showcasing the full influence of Glasgow Style Art Nouveau design.

This beautiful home retains an exceptional number of original features, giving it a unique sense of character and grandeur. Highlights include a striking 28-foot reception hallway with deep picture rails, ornate door surrounds, traditional box skirting boards, and stunning stained-glass upper fanlights. The property also boasts four separate five-pane bow windows, two of which belong to the magnificent formal lounge, where views across the West End can be enjoyed.

The attached photographs, floor plan, and HD video tour provide an excellent indication of the size and layout of the property. In brief, the accommodation comprises an expansive reception hallway with storage and a utility room off, and a stunning corner lounge with dual-aspect south- and west-facing windows, creating a wonderfully bright and airy living space.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned and upgraded to create an outstanding space for entertaining and socialising. While contemporary in style, it remains rich in period character, including an original fireplace with gas fire. The kitchen features shaker-style base and wall-mounted units, integrated appliances, tiled splashbacks, marble worktops, and a central island with a Belfast sink.

There are five bedrooms, all of which are generous double rooms, including a superb principal bedroom with a full bank of built-in wardrobes and an en-suite WC, and a further room with a bow window which is currently set up as another living room. The property also has a modern tiled shower room with a large walk-in shower, as well as an additional bathroom which has a freestanding bath and separate shower.
