Ground Floor, B Listed traditional 3 bedroom flat

Description

3 Hughenden Terrace is a fine double fronted property which forms the whole of the ground floor of a handsome Victorian townhouse in the ever-popular West End of Glasgow. Now requiring a degree of updating, it displays many magnificent period features including intricate plasterwork, high ceilings and wonderful carved metalwork on doors and architraves throughout.

The accommodation spans a single level and is reached via stone steps and a splendid wide glazed front door. Most of the living space is off the hallway and includes a 26ft long sitting room dominated by a full height bay window and elaborate cornicing and decorative ceiling plasterwork. There is also a fireplace with inset electric fire. The dining room is almost as spacious with another large window and a tiled fireplace with timber surround. The kitchen has a range of fitted cupboards and there is a utility room off the rear hall.

There are three double bedrooms in total; one sits towards the rear of the property with a shower room adjacent. A bathroom serves the other two bedrooms.

The property benefits from a front garden with sloped lawn, shrubs and a gravelled seating area along with use of the rear garden which has a brick-paved patio area, an expanse of lawn and is enclosed by hedging. There are lilac and laburnum trees, azaleas, honeysuckle and daffodils in spring. The front garden has rhododendrons in spring and roses for about 8 months of the year.

In addition, there is a detached garage to the side of the property.
