Hughenden Gardens, Hyndland, G12

There are parts of Hyndland everyone knows, and then there are the streets you can live beside for years without quite realising they are there. Hughenden Gardens is one of the latter.

Tucked quietly away, houses here rarely come to the market. The setting is perfect - peaceful, green and leafy - yet remarkably well placed for everything that makes this part of the West End so desirable. Hyndland Road, Cafe Parma and Hyndland railway station are just moments from the door, while excellent schooling at Hyndland Secondary, Kelvinside Academy and Glasgow Academy are just a short walk or cycle away.

Number 32 is an especially interesting example: a beautifully presented four-bedroom townhouse arranged over three levels, with three bathrooms, two separate living spaces, a private west-facing garden, driveway, integral garage with roller shutter door and electric car charging.

There is something particularly appealing about having the proportions and separation of a townhouse, without many of the compromises that can accompany an older property. The house is modern, practical and exceptionally well maintained, but certainly not short of character. Its current owners have created a home that feels considered rather than simply decorated, with herringbone-style flooring, bold artwork, contemporary lighting and a stylish colour pallete in Farrow & Ball and Coat paint throughout.

The main living accommodation occupies the first floor. To the front is a wonderfully generous living room, while the kitchen and dining area sit to the rear, overlooking the garden. The kitchen is sleek and understated, with excellent storage, Silestone countertops and Smeg range cooker, while the adjoining dining space makes this an easy floor for everyday family life as much as entertaining.

Upstairs are the principal bedrooms and bathrooms, including an impressive main bedroom with en-suite shower room. The bedrooms are well proportioned and, as you would expect from a more modern home, storage and bathrooms have been incorporated without having to carve them awkwardly from rooms designed for another century.

It is the ground floor, however, that gives Number 32 an extra dimension.

Here, a second living room or further bedroom opens directly onto the west-facing rear garden, creating a completely different space from the more formal accommodation upstairs. Alongside is a beautifully fitted garden kitchen, equipped for cooking (with Bosch integrated appliances), and washing up, and its own door outside. It is the sort of arrangement that makes complete sense the first time you use it: summer barbecues, children’s parties and evenings in the garden can all happen without trays of food, glasses and muddy feet travelling through the rest of the house.

This level also has a stylish shower room with a selection of Porcelanosa fittings, useful storage and internal access to the garage, making it unusually flexible. It could work equally well for older children, guests, home working or simply as a second part of the house in which family life can spread out.

Outside, the rear garden faces west and has been designed to be easily enjoyed, with decked seating areas and space for outdoor dining. To the front, the private driveway leads to the integral garage, with the additional convenience of an electric vehicle charging point.

Perhaps the greatest appeal of 32 Hughenden Gardens, though, is the combination of things that are surprisingly difficult to find together in Hyndland: four bedrooms, three bathrooms over three levels, a garage and driveway, a west-facing garden, all in a modern build. And all within easy reach of the places most people move to the West End to enjoy in the first place.

For buyers who love Hyndland but need the practicality of a proper family house, rather than another compromise cleverly disguised as one, Number 32 is a rather rare proposition.
