Dudley Drive, Hyndland, Glasgow

Perched on the top floor of a red sandstone tenement, this two bedroom apartment on Dudley Drive is a characterful home with a partially open plan kitchen layout that lends itself to being reshaped to suit.

Dudley Drive stands apart from many of its neighbours thanks to the gardens running through the centre of the street. Their mature trees form a natural curtain between the facing tenements, screening the view across the road and lending the apartment a sense of privacy and seclusion that is rarely found in such a central West End setting.

Period character is evident from the outset, with the communal stair embellished in a Scottish themed thistle decorative dado. Within the apartment, hardwood flooring flows through the accommodation and is complemented by traditional panelled timber doors and facings, while a deep cupboard off the hallway provides valuable everyday storage.

The lounge is the centrepiece of the home, arranged around a three section bay fitted with bespoke timber double glazed replacement windows. The bay peers east through the trees, catching the morning sun, and comfortably accommodates a dining table. A traditional timber fireplace with cast iron insert and floral tiled panels provides an elegant focal point, set beside a recessed alcove fitted with timber shelving.

A partial opening and panelled breakfast bar connect the lounge with the kitchen, with the bar equally suited to casual dining. This semi open plan arrangement keeps whoever is cooking part of the conversation while still offering a degree of separation, and the open aspect allows natural light to reach well into the kitchen. As the kitchen retains its own door from the hallway, the space could be opened up fully or closed off entirely. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of wall and base units, glazed display cabinets and a vibrant backsplash in layered shades of blue and green, together with a Bosch electric oven, gas hob and stainless steel extractor. There is space for a freestanding washing machine as well as a separate fridge and freezer.

Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with hardwood flooring, integrated mirrored wardrobes and leafy outlooks, and the main bedroom also has an access hatch to the attic.

The bathroom has a three piece suite with shower over the bath, finished in white metro style tiling with a blue mosaic border, along with a window to the front.

Dudley Drive is in the heart of Hyndland, within a short walk of Hyndland station and its quick rail connections into the city centre. The cafés, delis and independent shops of Hyndland Road are close at hand, with Byres Road, the University of Glasgow and the Botanic Gardens all within easy reach. For those travelling by car, the Clydeside Expressway, the motorway network and the Clyde Tunnel are all readily accessible, the latter providing a direct link to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. The property also falls within the catchment for Hyndland Secondary School, with The Glasgow Academy, The High School of Glasgow and Kelvinside Academy all nearby.

A leafy outlook, flexible living space and a superb setting make this a well rounded home that will appeal to those working in medicine and academia, as well as young professionals and anyone looking to put down roots in the West End.
