Impressive duplex apartment in Glasgow’s prestigious Park district.

Description

This wonderful A Listed duplex apartment is situated on the second and top floors of this impressive period townhouse. The building was converted in 2004 to create four separate luxury properties.

Split over two floors, the apartment is accessed from the impressive communal hallway which has panelled walls, cornicing and a broad staircase which sweeps up to the second floor, where the door to Apartment 3 opens into a bright reception hallway. From here, all the main living spaces are accessed. Dominating the apartment is the open plan living/dining room. At around 36 feet in length this is a glorious space with wooden flooring, tall windows maximising the natural light, and a fine white marble fireplace. It divides naturally into sitting and dining areas, with a door off to the contemporary kitchen. Here there are white cabinets with integrated appliances and a sleek stainless steel splashback. A useful WC/cloakroom completes this level.

Stairs from the hallway lead to the half landing where there is a snug sitting area making full use of the space, and a bright tiled bathroom.

At the top level there are three double bedrooms all with excellent built in storage. Two have luxurious en suite shower rooms.

Location

Park Circus is the epicentre of the Park District, Glasgow’s most beautiful and historic neighbourhood. Master-planned in the 1850s in response to demand for quality homes from successful merchants and professionals, Charles Wilson (one of the most important Glasgow architects of the Victorian era) created the sweeping crescents and curved façades of Park Circus to symbolise the crowning glory of what was then known as Woodlands Hill and the pioneering district of the West.
Twenty-nine townhouses surround one and a half acres of immaculately kept gardens which were created then, and are maintained now, for the exclusive enjoyment of the residents.

Over time many of these houses were taken for offices but now the residential revolution is returning, and this now creates a rare opportunity to acquire a precious piece of architectural history.

The Park area and the West End together make a vibrant hub of activity which attracts young professionals and families alike. Nearby Byres Road and Finnieston offer an excellent selection of specialist shopping, bars and restaurants. Recreational facilities and space can be found at Kelvingrove Park, Kelvin Hall and the Botanic Gardens.

A range of schooling can be found in the area at St Aloysius’ College, Glasgow Academy, Kelvinside Academy and The High School of Glasgow with further education at Glasgow and Strathclyde universities.

Kelvinbridge underground station provides excellent commuting links to the city centre and beyond. The motorway network and city centre are easily accessible via nearby Woodlands Road and Charing Cross.
