Offering superb potential to the next owner, this bright and feature-filled two-bedroom first floor frawing room conversion is held within an elegant, south-facing blonde sandstone townhouse, positioned in the particularly sought-after West End district of Dowanhill. <br/><br/>Just off Byres Road, the property is ideally located within walking distance of a superb selection of local amenities, the renowned and the University of Glasgow, making it an exceptionally appealing home for a wide range of buyers.<br/><br/>Grosvenor Crescent is a particularly popular and centrally located Dowanhill address, situated just off Byres Road and adjacent to the landmark Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church - which is beautifully illuminated in the evenings & gives this street pretty focal point. Despite its excellent centrality, the crescent enjoys a very peaceful atmosphere, and the home for sale benefits from an attractive outlook across to surrounding blonde sandstone townhouses and down towards Byres Road. Although less than one minute’s walk from the vibrant heart of Byres Road, this is a surprisingly tranquil position which appeals equally to young professional couples, first-time buyers and those downsizing who wish to remain within easy walking distance of West End amenities and transport links. On-street parking is available locally, with permits obtainable from the local authority. Number 15 is a particularly handsome blonde sandstone townhouse which has been professionally stone-cleaned and is sub-divided into four private residential conversions. According to the vendor's title deeds, the garden to the rear is shared between all residents.<br/><br/>Access to the building is via a secure entrance door which leads into an impressive shared hall and stairway, rich in original architectural detailing. Notable features include Corinthian columns with acanthus leaf capitals, a beautiful tiled floor within the main entrance area and a broad, sweeping staircase with substantial hardwood balustrade rising to the upper floors. The home for sale is situated on the first level and enjoys the rare advantage of being the sole residence on this floor.<br/><br/>As illustrated by the accompanying photography and HD video, this is a particularly attractive two-bedroom upper conversion which offers bright living space, superb ceiling heights and is filled with attractive traditional features including ceiling cornicing, arched grey marble fireplace and deep, bold timber mouldings and facings.
