A truly historic six bedroom townhouse in Glasgow's Park District with self contained garden flat, parking and potential building plot

Description

16 Woodside Terrace is a traditional four storey townhouse in the heart of the Park District of Glasgow. Historic and highly sought after, these blonde sandstone terraces are now rarely seen on the market. Fascinatingly, 16 Woodside Terrace was once upon a time "the first little theatre of Glasgow" and in the late 1940s was home to a repertory theatre company. Evidence of this remains through the supporting beams strengthening the first floor.

Constructed over four floors, the property has a versatile accommodation layout, with the ground, first and second floors forming the principal dwelling and the lower ground floor forming a self contained two bedroom garden flat with private entrance and a private terrace to the front. Both elements of the property are still connected internally by a staircase, meaning that the whole house can still be occupied in its entirety, if preferred, or the benefits of a self contained unit can be exploited and enjoyed.

The main house over three floors bears all the trademarks of the late Georgian/early Victorian era with high ceilings, decorative cornices and, between the cupola and the floor to ceiling high sash and case windows, an abundance of natural light. Given the main reception rooms are found on the first floor this elevated position provides beautiful views south across the city and also over the communal residents' gardens, which the owner of 16 Woodside Terrace is entitled to use (management fees apply).

To the rear of the property is a large area of concrete at ground floor level, enclosed on three sides, which is predominantly used for parking. This area could be easily repurposed as garden or indeed potentially redeveloped with the formation of a rear mews-style building (subject to the necessary consents).

Location

Woodside Terrace, constructed circa 1860, is an historic terrace in the heart of the popular Park area. Similar to Edinburgh’s New Town, the area has evolved to be the established prime residential location of Glasgow.

The Park area is within easy reach of Glasgow’s city centre, Finnieston, Glasgow University, Kelvingrove, Gibson Street, Charing Cross and the M8. Kelvinside Academy, Glasgow Academy, St Aloysius Academy and Hillhead Primary are nearby. The Park area has tremendous local amenities including restaurants, shops and leisure facilities. The Western and Arlington Baths are close by. 16 Woodside Terrace itself occupies an elevated position providing superb panoramic views south of the city and onto the well-maintained secure amenity gardens, which the occupants of the property have the right to use.
