1 Great Western Terrace, Glasgow

This is a beautiful and generously proportioned two-bedroom conversion forming part of the magnificent grade A listed sandstone terrace designed by the architect Alexander ‘Greek’ Thompson in 1869. The property was converted some years ago to form an exceptional raised ground level apartment with a stunning double aspect drawing room and the apartment fronts both Great Western Terrace and Westbourne Gardens. There is private residents parking to the front. The apartment benefits from one drawing room, two large bedrooms with open aspects onto Westbourne Gardens, a kitchen and bathroom. This home is full of fine period features including detailed cornicing, ceiling roses, focal fireplaces, including a Cottier-designed original in the drawing room and the original Maplewood floor in the hall and drawing room is still in place. The overall condition is excellent, including all windows being replaced with double-glazed sash and case units in the recent past. Great Western Terrace itself is generally recognised as being one of the most elegant residential addresses in the West End of Glasgow.

Property Description - The accommodation comprises – entry to the building via grand front steps leading to a pillared front entrance with attractive stained-glass features and security entry system. An impressive communal hallway leads directly to the apartment on the same level, with a spectacular original stairway beyond leading to the second floor. Internally the property is spacious with frontage to both the front (Great Western Terrace) and the side (Westbourne Gardens). All apartments are off the main hallway and there is also a walk-in storage cupboard off the hallway. The magnificent drawing room has windows and open leafy outlook to both vistas and has its original flooring and beautiful original fireplace in situ – there is a sizeable dining area within the drawing room set into an attractive five section bay window alcove fronting Westbourne Gardens. Both bedrooms are large doubles, the largest of which is exceptionally spacious, with a window alcove arrangement similar to the drawing room, and both look out to Westbourne Gardens. The kitchen is a galley style arrangement with a window facing south and the bathroom has a three-piece suite in white with shower over bath, also facing south. Above the kitchen and bathroom is a large space – currently void- which has potential for further development.

This is a rarely available residence within a most desirable address. The present owner has been there for 28 years.
