Thornwood Gardens, Thornwood, Glasgow

Some homes have a welcoming, secure feeling that is hard to describe — a sense of warmth and safety that many would simply call ‘soul’. Whatever that feeling is, and however you choose to define it, this apartment has it in abundance. It is one of those rare homes that immediately puts you at ease within minutes of stepping through the door. If you go and have a look at it, you will see what we mean.

This beautiful two bedroom second floor apartment has been lovingly maintained and sensitively improved by the current owner, resulting in an extremely comfortable, instantly attractive home with excellent storage and a wonderful sense of warmth. Set within a peaceful yet central red sandstone tenement, the property enjoys access to particularly impressive south facing residents’ gardens to the rear — a real highlight of this well kept and much loved community.

Internally, the accommodation is exceptionally bright, and it is immediately evident that the owner has a background in design and a natural talent for interior styling. The apartment has a charming selection of traditional features including fireplaces, stripped and varnished original floorboards, deep bold timber skirtings and facings, panelled doors, and even the original service bells, which have been preserved in the kitchen. These lovely period characteristics have been skilfully blended with modern fixtures and fittings, including double glazed windows, a modern central heating system with a recently installed boiler (approximately 18 months old and still under warranty), and a re fitted yet in keeping dining kitchen complete with appliances and pulley. The kitchen further benefits from a range of quality white goods — including dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine — all replaced within the last three years.

The accommodation extends to: a bright entrance hall with excellent cupboard storage; a lovely bay window living room with a deep cupboard that could easily serve as a compact home office area if required; a generous dining kitchen with attractive units, appliances, pulley and a peaceful rear outlook; a king sized principal bedroom with fireplace; a second double sized bedroom with charming corner fireplace; and a well appointed main bathroom with white suite, subway tiling and shower over bath.

An absolutely superb traditional apartment in a brilliant part of town
