Four storey, B listed town house in the heart of the West End with generous gardens. 9 bedrooms in all.

Description

38 Kingsborough Gardens is one of the most distinctive buildings on what is already a high profile and highly sought after street in Glasgow’s West End. One of just a few properties to claim ‘end terrace’ status, the property benefits from a wraparound garden on three sides and as such holds significant appeal.
Built in the late 19th century, the property has for the last 40 years been home to the Sisters of Notre Dame. Now requiring a degree of modernisation, the townhouse has huge potential and could be restored to one of the finest family homes in the West End. The accommodation is spread over four floors and includes nine individual bedrooms, each with their own en suite facilities, with each floor benefitting from its own kitchenette. The spacious and well equipped main kitchen can be found on the ground floor. The principal drawing room retains many original features as do the wider communal areas, with ornate cornicing, wood panelling in the entrance vestibule as well as a stunning open stone fireplace in the main reception hall. Stained glass details and full height bay windows typical of the period also remain throughout, ensuring an abundance of natural light.
The property is versatile in its accommodation and layout, with the lower ground floor providing spacious storage provision as well as a self contained staff area; with its direct access to the gardens this level could be easily converted into an independent apartment in its own right.
Within the property there is also a lift operating across all four floors.
Standing at 6,000 sq ft and with such notable features as the corner turret and extensive rear garden, this outstanding example of a Victorian townhouse represents a once in a generation opportunity and an incredibly exciting project for the new custodian.
