8 Whittingehame Gardens, 1103 Great Western Road, G12

Some homes offer the character of a Victorian villa. Others offer the practicality of a modern family home. Finding one that delivers both is exceptionally rare.

Occupying the lower level of this handsome and immaculate red sandstone villa, this is a home that feels far more like a house than a flat. From the moment you arrive in the driveway, with ample off-street parking and an unusually large double garage, there’s an immediate sense of privacy and permanence.

Inside, the proportions are exactly what you would hope for. Beautiful bay-windowed reception rooms, high ceilings and intricate cornicing remind you of the building’s Victorian heritage, while the layout works effortlessly for modern family life.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining room. It’s a wonderfully social space, but what really sets it apart is the direct access to the rear garden. In the warmer months the doors are rarely closed, making it easy to move between cooking, dining and sitting outside. It’s one of those features that transforms how you use a home.

The accommodation extends to three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including master bedroom with en-suite. Whether you’re downsizing from a house and looking for lateral living or searching for extra space within the West End, the flexibility here is hard to ignore.

The current owner say they’ll miss three things most: the period features, the garden and the location. It’s easy to understand why. Mature planting surrounds the property, creating a peaceful setting that feels tucked away, yet everything that makes the West End so desirable is only a short walk away. Within the catchment for Jordanhill School and close to excellent transport links, cafés, restaurants and green space, the location continues to be one of Glasgow’s most sought-after.

The building itself has also benefited from significant recent investment. The communal areas were comprehensively refurbished in 2025. The entrance hallway has been sympathetically restored, the stonework professionally cleaned and trees carefully manage.

A grand lower conversion with its own private garden, substantial double garage, driveway parking and beautiful period detailing offers a combination that’s incredibly difficult to replace. For anyone wanting the elegance of a Victorian home without compromising on everyday practicality, this is a rare opportunity.
