Description
This substantial property at Burnbank Gardens has been cherished by the same family for over three decades. Set within a peaceful, tree-lined crescent just off St George's Cross and within walking distance of both the West End and the City Centre, this impressive Victorian home combines timeless architectural elegance, with enormous potential for modernisation.
Offering eleven principal apartments, the property provides a wealth of versatile accommodation ideally suited to family life. The ground floor opens with a grand, welcoming reception hall, showcasing original tiled flooring and intricate cornice work. To the front, the formal lounge features a striking bay window, while a second sitting room and a snug/dining room, offer direct access to the westerly-facing garden, provides flexible living and an entertaining space. A generous dining kitchen and a family bathroom complete this level. The private rear garden also includes direct access to a rarely available garage, a valuable asset in the area.
On the first floor, the impressive bay-windowed principal bedroom is complemented by three further bedrooms, and a large family bathroom, offering excellent scope for modern family arrangements. The top floor adds yet more space, with three additional bedrooms, a secondary kitchen—ideal as a fourth bedroom if preferred— and a further bathroom with en-suite, making the home ideal for extended families or multi-generational living.
Burnbank Gardens is ideally located for enjoying the very best of the West End, with the cafes, restaurants, and shops of Great Western Road and Byres Road nearby, as well as the green open spaces of Kelvingrove Park. Excellent transport links, including Kelvinbridge subway and access to key road routes, provide quick connections across the city and beyond.
This is a unique chance to restore and transform a handsome West End townhouse into a truly spectacular home.
