Kirklee Terrace Lane, Kirklee, G12

Tucked away in the heart of Kelvinside, this charming little lane feels wonderfully removed from the city around it. There’s something almost village-like about the setting, with its traditional stone buildings, quiet surroundings and sense of community. Yet, just a short walk away, you have everything that makes the West End such a brilliant place to live.

Number 13 is a traditional, two-bedroom mews house that has been in the same ownership for the past 30 years. It’s clearly been a much-loved home, although there’s no disguising the fact that the next chapter will involve a fairly comprehensive programme of modernisation.

The house is arranged over two levels, with two bedrooms and an integrated garage on the ground floor, while the main living accommodation occupies the upper level. Here, you’ll find a lovely sitting room with a traditional fireplace, a separate kitchen, dining area and a generously proportioned bathroom. The upper hallway also has an interesting vaulted ceiling, with rooflights bringing natural light into the space.

The layout is a little unconventional, but that’s part of the opportunity. Depending on how the next owner wants to live, there’s considerable scope to rethink the accommodation, improve the flow between rooms and create something that feels entirely their own.

One particularly useful feature is the integrated garage, which can also be accessed internally from the house. Garaging in this part of Glasgow is a real advantage in itself, but it also presents an interesting possibility for someone looking to increase the living accommodation, subject, of course, to the necessary planning and building consents.

The kitchen, bathroom, decoration and general finishes are dated, and buyers should approach the property with a full refurbishment in mind. The roof was replaced by the current owner approximately 20 years ago.

Kirklee Terrace Lane has a character that’s increasingly difficult to find in the West End. It’s peaceful, discreet and tucked away, with an atmosphere that feels more like a small village than somewhere so close to the centre of Glasgow. The cafés, restaurants, independent shops and green spaces of the West End are all within easy reach, yet returning home feels like leaving the bustle behind.

After 30 years, the current owner is ready to pass the house on to someone new. And while it will take imagination, investment and a bit of work to bring Number 13 up to modern standards, the fundamentals are already here: an attractive traditional mews building, an interesting layout, its own garage and a lovely setting.

For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to create a very special home in one of the West End’s quieter, lesser-known corners.
