Nestled between Hydland and Partick, Partickhill offers some of the best hidden family homes in the West End. Located in Glasgow's vibrant West End, this character property is close to Hyndland Station, Byres Road, the University of Glasgow.and Gartnavel Hospital. It is the perfect location for families, downsizers and young professionals alike. Partick and Hyndland together form a busy and active community which has become a hugely desirable and attractive location providing a variety of popular bars, restaurants and gourmet coffee shops such as Cottiers, The Partick Duck Club, Epicures and Hyndland Fox.

Banavie Road is quiet, charming and leafy within a conservation area. It is superbly positioned in the Hyndland Primary and Secondary school catchment area as well as being in close proximity to Glasgow Academy, Kelvinside Academy and The High School of Glasgow. Nearby Hayburn Park, with direct access from Banavie Lane, is an excellent recreation space for young children and families as is Victoria Park.

Glasgow's maritime history is explored at the Riverside Museum and Tall Ship while Partick was once a district well known for its shipyards and grain mills which played a crucial role in Scotland's Industrial Revolution.

The area as a whole proves popular with those requiring access to Glasgow, Strathclyde and Caledonian universities, Kelvingrove Park, Victoria Park and the Art Galleries. The Glasgow Botanical Gardens are also within easy reach as well as the bustling Great Western Road. There are also excellent road networks linking to the M8, accessing central Scotland and Glasgow International Airport.

Description

29 Banavie Road is a Victorian blonde sandstone terraced house in the heart of the West End. Constructed over three floors the property has tremendous versatility in its accommodation and an abundance of stunning period features. Throughout the house decorative cornicing, beautiful wooden flooring and working windows shutters can be found.
The ground floor sitting room has a lovely warm ambience complemented by a wood burning stove and richly coloured wood flooring. There are also two large rear facing bedrooms and a shower room on this floor.

A beautiful stairway leads from a generous ground floor hallway to the first floor. The drawing room is on the first floor, as was customary of the era, and has three large sash and case windows maximising the levels of natural light and providing delightful views across the central Banavie residents' co-owned private gardens. The two bedrooms on this floor are both generous in size and again, thanks to the high windows, the bright and airy feeling is continued throughout the property. This floor also contains a bathroom complete with a splendid original cast iron roll top bath.

The hub of the house is found on the garden level with a magnificent open plan kitchen and dining room which opens straight onto the south-west facing gardens and terrace at the rear. The gas fired AGA is a rarely-found and much sought after bonus in a townhouse and makes the space welcoming and cosy, while the traditional wooden cabinetry and work tops add further warmth to the room and fit perfectly with the period surroundings. Within the kitchen there is a hugely useful walk in pantry and a clothes pulley conveniently above the AGA. There is also a large front facing bedroom, utility room and two generous storage cupboards on this floor.

Gardens
To the front of the property access is through a wrought iron pedestrian gate where a paved pathway leads to the front door with an area of lawn and flower borders on either side. The principal gardens are to the rear, are south facing, and have a patio, a lawn and planted borders leading down to an area of concrete hard standing. This is perfect for alfresco dining and enjoying some of the home grown veg that can be cultivated in the raised beds. To the end of the garden a set of double gates provide access from the lane for the parking of a vehicle within the boundaries of the property.
