A distinguished residence in Glasgow’s West End
Description
Kingsborough Gardens is arguably one of the most prestigious addresses in the popular West End of Glasgow. This William Robertson-designed, prime residential area has retained its desirability, as, unlike many other terraces, its handsome red sandstone townhouses have all remained undivided single residences due to far sighted Edwardian title deed restrictions aimed at preserving the unique character of this West End gardens. These fine period homes form a wonderful community around the beautiful central north and south residents gardens. Access to the gardens is via a secure keypad.
No. 21 is one of the finest properties on Kingsborough Gardens and features the airy high ceilings and ornate cornicing typical of the Edwardian era. Constructed over four floors, the accommodation flows from a central reception hall. There is a beautiful sitting room on the ground floor with bay window overlooking the gardens and a carved wooden mantel over a gas flame effect fire, also on this level is a bedroom and shower room. The lower ground level forms a kitchen and family room with separate dining area within a fully glazed rear extension with direct access to the rear west facing garden. The contemporary kitchen has granite work surfaces on top of an L-shaped run of cabinets. Appliances include an integrated four oven gas fired AGA with an additional electric cooking module to one side. A large original stained glass window throws light from the hallway.
The first floor is home to the beautiful drawing room. This boasts intricate ceiling plasterwork and another splendid fireplace with carved wooden mantel. In the bay window there is a fitted window seat which provides the perfect spot to enjoy the views over the the larger south gardens. The most unexpected yet delightful reception space is on the top floor, featuring an exceptional billiards/sitting room, complete with space for a small office nestled in the bay window with rooftop views. Here a cupola with a mix of original and restored painted glass detailing adds both character as well as natural light.
Over the four floors there are five bedrooms (one is currently used as a study) and three bathrooms. Coupled with the multiple reception rooms, the flexible accommodation, if desired, lends itself to reconfiguration and repurposing to match the evolving needs of family life, as the present owners have found over the past 20 years. While retaining a wealth of lovely original features, the house has been sympathetically upgraded for 21st century living with modern comforts and fixtures throughout, including a spacious home office.
Outside, at the rear of the property is an enclosed paved west facing garden and wooden fencing. From this sun trap of a garden, there is a gate to the rear lane which provides access to bins as well as a convenient shortcut to Hyndland Road with all its popular cafés, shops and restaurants. The local tennis club, gym and spin studio are all within close proximity.
