9a Nelson Street, Dundee, DD1 2PN

This sandstone Victorian terrace conversion occupies a peaceful stretch of Nelson Street, where traditional proportions and period character sit within easy walking distance of Dundee city centre and the university. Occupying the lower level with its own private entrance and generous garden, the apartment feels much more like a house than a conventional conversion. Direct bus links to Ninewells Hospital, unrestricted on-street parking and a nearby public car park add everyday practicality.

The property has been comprehensively renovated throughout, including a full rewire, new plumbing, gas central heating and double-glazed sash windows, while carefully preserving the character that makes homes of this era so appealing.

The sitting room is an exceptional space, centred around a striking cast iron fireplace beneath beautifully detailed cornicing, while the large bay window fills the room with natural light and frames views across the garden. Original timber flooring completes a room that feels both elegant and comfortable.

The kitchen offers an equally impressive contrast, combining contemporary design with subtle nods to the building’s heritage. Deep navy cabinetry, quartz worktops and warm timber detailing sit alongside an exposed sandstone wall that links the kitchen with the spacious utility room, creating a practical everyday entrance without interrupting the flow of the home. A generous island with integrated wine storage anchors the space, while there’s plenty of room for family dining.

The two double bedrooms are quietly positioned away from the reception rooms. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke storage and a window seat, while the second retains its original fireplace surround, making it equally suited as a guest room or home office. A spacious bathroom completes the accommodation with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and generous vanity unit.

Outside, the garden extends the living space beautifully. Mature trees provide a wonderful sense of privacy, while porcelain terraces, established planting, raised beds and a generous lawn create spaces for dining, relaxing and family life alike. A separate vestibule opens directly onto the garden, making the transition between inside and out feel effortless.

A rare combination of Victorian character, contemporary design and exceptional outdoor space, all within easy reach of the city centre.
