Kelvin Drive, North Kelvinside, Glasgow

Occupying a prominent third (top) floor position within an elegant red sandstone tenement building, this particularly spacious and naturally bright two-bedroom flat
enjoys a superb setting on Kelvin Drive, a quiet and leafy address in the desirable North Kelvinside district. Beautifully proportioned throughout and extending to approximately 1120 square feet, the property combines the impressive scale and character of a traditional West End tenement with comfortable, well-presented accommodation that is exceptionally well suited to modern living. The top-floor position is a particular advantage, offering excellent privacy together with open, leafy outlooks and no properties directly overlooking the principal rooms to the front.

One of the property’s most appealing features is undoubtedly the sense of space. High ceilings, tall windows and generous room dimensions create an immediately impressive feeling on entering, while numerous traditional features have been retained, including intricate ceiling cornicing and decorative plasterwork, stripped timber flooring, panelled doors and attractive period fireplaces. The elevated third floor position also affords pleasant, leafy aspects which further enhance the sense of light and privacy. The property also benefits from double-glazed windows.

The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule opening into a particularly broad and welcoming reception hall. More than simply a circulation space, the hall gives an excellent first impression of the proportions found throughout the flat and benefits from timber flooring, decorative cornicing and useful storage. A particularly attractive stained and decorative glass panel to the entrance door provides an additional period flourish, with further decorative glass detailing found elsewhere within the flat, including the double doors to the bathroom.

The lounge is an outstanding principal apartment. The room is beautifully proportioned and centred around an impressive traditional fireplace with an ornate timber surround. A broad bay window draws an abundance of natural light into the room and provides lovely outlooks towards mature trees, with the partially west-facing aspect bringing particularly attractive evening light and sunset views. The open outlook to the front, towards the trees and River Kelvin beyond, is not directly overlooked, creating an unusual sense of privacy for such a central West End location. Elaborate cornicing and a decorative ceiling rose reinforce the room’s inherent period character, while stripped timber flooring completes this extremely appealing living space.

The dining kitchen is another generously proportioned room and is fitted with a range of contemporary red wall and floor-mounted cabinetry together with extensive worktop space. A large window provides excellent natural light and leafy views, while the adjoining dining area has space for a table and chairs, creating a practical setting for everyday dining and entertaining.

There are two genuinely substantial double bedrooms, giving the flat a degree of flexibility which should appeal to a variety of buyers. The principal bedroom is especially impressive with a large window, attractive fireplace, decorative cornicing and stripped timber floorboards. The second bedroom is again well proportioned and, as demonstrated by the current arrangement, its generous dimensions allow it to work equally well as a sizeable second bedroom, guest room or comfortable home office. Both bedrooms enjoy an attractive outlook to the front, with no direct overlooking and views through the trees towards the River Kelvin.

The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed bathroom with a white three-piece suite and shower over the bath, accessed through attractive double doors incorporating decorative stained glass panels, together with a particularly useful utility room connected to the bathroom, which also provides additional storage with a built-in wardrobe. Excellent storage is another notable advantage, with several cupboards positioned around the reception hall and additional storage adjoining the lounge.

Externally, the property forms part of an attractive traditional red sandstone building in a particularly appealing setting, framed by established greenery and mature trees. To the rear is a well-maintained shared garden, providing valuable communal outside space.

The location manages the difficult combination of a peaceful residential environment with extremely convenient access to the attractions of Glasgow's West End. North Kelvinside is characterised by its traditional architecture, leafy surroundings and proximity to the River Kelvin, while Queen Margaret Drive offers a popular collection of local shops and cafés. The entrance to the Kelvin Walkway is just a few steps from the property, providing particularly convenient access to an attractive riverside route through the area, with the Forth & Clyde Canal, North Kelvin Meadow and other green spaces also readily accessible.

Overall, this is an extremely appealing and exceptionally spacious traditional West End flat, distinguished by its impressive room proportions, abundance of natural light, attractive period detailing and pleasant leafy outlooks. Its top-floor position, excellent privacy and open outlook considerably to its appeal. The combination of two large double bedrooms, an outstanding bay-windowed lounge with exceptional evening light and sunset views, generous dining kitchen, excellent storage, separate utility room and shared rear garden make this a particularly versatile home, while its tranquil North Kelvinside setting places an excellent range of amenities and the wider West End within easy reach.
