Laurieston House forms part of the Pollokshields Heritage Trail. This stunning, blonde sandstone semi-detached villa offers a rare opportunity to own an historic home. A five bedroom, Victorian semi-detached villa, enjoying private garden grounds, this beautiful home is an absolute must for viewing. The home has an abundance of original period features boasting, Carrera marble fireplaces, stunning intricate cornicing work and original stained glass bespoke to the home. The mature gardens boast mature tree specimens which compliment the majestic entrance pathway. The home also has a separate large driveway with ample parking space for several cars and lawned front garden leading to imposing entrance vestibule.
The accommodation of the house itself comprises grand reception hallway with cornice detailing and original period oak balustrade staircase (which flows continuously up to the second floor). The beautiful bay windowed formal sitting room with a delightful triple aspect stained glass windows is situated within lower turret of the home, is complete with original oak panelling and Carrera marble fireplace and glorious intricate cornicing.
The formal dining room, leading off the main hallway is situated to the front of the property complete with views over Sheilds Road towards the historical Church and magnificent steeple. The dining room flows through to second lounge (which is currently being used as an office), again with views over gardens and Shields Road. Leading down hallway is a ground floor WC, complete with shower. The modern fitted dining kitchen is complete with floor and wall mounted units, breakfast bar and range cooker. Again, the period features are evident in the kitchen with stained glass windows, large pantry and utility room. There is convenient side access directly from kitchen on to garden, garage (original stables for the home), outhouse and gardener's WC.
The first floor accommodation leads off impressive stairway with access to five double bedrooms, again with cornicing and original fireplaces. The impressive hallways are split over 2 levels. The first level giving access to 3 large double bedrooms and 2 bathroom (complete with separate shower and bath). A further two generous rooms (one currently being used as a morning/music room) lead off second hallway landing which showcases a bespoke stained glass window which was commissioned by previous owners. The morning/music room is a mirror image of the ground floor sitting room, with Carrera marble fireplace, triple aspect stained glass sash and case windows, panelling and cornicing.
The second floor accommodation has flexible use, perhaps a separate office space.
The property also benefits from sash and casement windows throughout with single glazing, gas central heating and a range of period features, including; re-furbished parquet flooring, high moulded skirtings, cornicing, panelling, door handles and push plates. This beautiful home enjoys a modern, eclectic decor throughout which beautifully accentuates the period features and traditional nature of the house.
Externally there is the aforementioned gated driveway and front garden, along with a spacious walled side garden which enjoys separate lawned and patio area, gardeners' toilet, garage, greenhouse. A superb outdoor space which is fully enclosed and particularly private and is ideal for those long summer days.
Pollokshields is one of the most popular areas anywhere in the West of Scotland. The combination of amenities and transport links are second to none. There is a particularly impressive range of restaurants, bars and cafes in Pollokshields itself as well as nearby Strathbungo and Shawlands all within walking distance. The position of the property is also extremely convenient for easy access to Glasgow City Centre by any number of methods including by bike, car, train, bus or subway.
