5 bedroom apartment for sale

CLOSING DATE FRIDAY 3RD MAY AT 11:00AM

Having the significant advantage of a Main Door entrance this really substantial mansion flat extends to circa 2,937 square feet and forms part of a striking red sandstone three storey tenement building situated within a prime section of the original Dowanhill Estate. These buildings were designed by the late David Barclay of H & D Barclay between 1898 and 1912 and are unified by the use of particularly distinctive detailing on the bowed windows, by elaborate stained and painted glass in the upper fanlights and sashes, using every variation of Glasgow Style Art Nouveau.

This absolutely stunning home has the distinct feeling of being a substantial house within a tenement, mainly due to its completely private front entrance and the private back door access to the well proportioned communal back garden (south/east facing) which has paved patio, grass and hedging.

Internally the main part of the house, extends to a stunning reception hall, two amazing public rooms, a dining kitchen, family shower room and an en suite bathroom off bedroom one. The garden level has a versatile utility room/gym, in addition to a self-contained apartment which offers a sitting room, open plan kitchen, bedroom five, an en suite shower room and a versatile utility room/gym. There are countless beautiful features throughout and we would highlight the hardwood floors in the hall and many of the rooms, the incredible stained glass, several feature fireplaces, the split level upper hall and the lovely rear outlook to the courts of Dowanhill Tennis Club.
