Kensington Road, Dowanhill, Glasgow

Some might say that the word "perfect" is overused when describing property, but this two-bedroom conversion on Kensington Road is just that. It is an exceptional example of what can be achieved when a homeowner combines a keen eye for detail with creativity, care and an unwavering commitment to quality. The result is a polished, feature-filled residence that is every bit as comfortable as it is impressive. Quite simply, it must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Kensington Road is a particularly attractive address. Lined with mature trees and abundant greenery, it is a centrally located avenue that conveys a remarkable sense of tranquillity and seclusion. A continuation of Kensington Gardens, the B-listed building forms part of a sinuous terrace designed by Glasgow architect David Barclay and constructed circa 1900.
Despite its peaceful setting within one of the leafiest sections of the Dowanhill Estate, the property is only a five-minute walk from Hyndland's excellent selection of shops and delicatessens, Sainsbury's Local, Caffe Parma, Western Tennis Club, Cuku and the Botanic Gardens, providing a delightful route to Byres Road during the spring and summer months.
Number 4 is a particularly attractive mid-terrace townhouse conversion, set back from the street behind a beautifully maintained lawned front garden. The grand entrance retains its original portico and stained glass and leads into a communal wood-panelled and carpeted hall, complete with an original fireplace.

Internally, the living space is exquisite. Beautifully reconditioned stained-glass windows, restored cornicing and ceiling roses, and deep timber skirtings, facings and mouldings are just some of the original features that give the property its rich character. These traditional elements have been skilfully blended with stylish contemporary finishes, including neutral tones, Timorous Beasties wallpaper and attractive floor coverings, creating a calm, comfortable and luxurious living environment.

For additional comfort, the current owner has installed wood-burning stoves in both the lounge and principal bedroom. This exceptional home must be viewed in person to fully appreciate its high specification, leafy outlooks and wonderful setting.

In brief, the accommodation extends to: entrance hall providing access to each of the principal apartments; bow-windowed living room; substantial principal bedroom that exudes comfort and luxury; second double bedroom located within the entresol level and accessed via a short flight of stairs; high-specification fitted kitchen with appliances and space for a breakfast table and chairs; and a stunning shower room with low-profile double shower and porcelain tiling.
