An imposing “B – Listed” late-Victorian semi-detached villa, 216 Broomhill Drive occupies a prominent and highly sought-after position within Glasgow’s West End, offering substantial and wonderfully adaptable family accommodation across three expansive levels. Constructed of blonde sandstone beneath a traditional pitched slate roof, the home instantaneously impresses with its distinctive architectural presence; defined by a striking bow fronted elevation and a characteristic square tower projection rising above the entrance.
The accommodation is both generous and versatile, a welcoming vestibule and stone steps lead us into an impressive reception hallway where stained glass and traditional tiling exude elegance. A magnificent bow windowed sitting room forms a natural focal point for family living and entertaining, while the sensibly arranged dining kitchen provides another beautiful core for family life and entertaining. A useful utility room provides direct access to the rear garden, with a staircase rising to a flexible study space, and a contemporary shower room completing the ground floor.
The upper levels continue to impress, with four beautifully proportioned bedrooms arranged across the first floor, each benefiting from high ceilings, large windows and charming period detailing. A well appointed family bathroom serves this level. The staircase then rises to the top floor where the impressive square tower creates a wonderfully distinctive and adaptable principal suite enjoying a lovely outlook. A dedicated dressing room, ensuite shower room and “snug” located within the tower round off a spectacular arrangement. The house has a private rear terrace, a rare and highly prized accolade within this urban setting, and residents also enjoy access to a communal garden situated at the top of the hill.
Broomhill Drive is a highly desirable address, offering an enticingly convenient location that is in easy reach of numerous top schools and the main thoroughfares of the West End. Necessary amenities are close at hand, from nurseries, primary and secondary schools to shops, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. The area is popular with couples and growing families thanks to its excellent connectivity. Major road networks are within easy reach for commuting across the central belt, while Byres Road lies just over a mile away and offers a superb array of eateries, bars, coffee shops, and boutiques. Broomhill is also favoured by healthcare professionals for its proximity to the QEUH, only around two miles from the property. Hyndland Rail Station is another key benefit, providing regular services into Glasgow City Centre.
