Occupying the entire first floor of Bennochy Lodge, a delightful category “B” listed detached sandstone villa on Dundonald Road, is an absolutely gorgeous three bedroom apartment with separate dining kitchen and reception space, which also benefits from a coveted private garage.<br/> <br/>The apartment encompasses the principal rooms of the original Victorian villa and as a result provides exceptional proportions throughout, with high ceilings and large sash and case windows that amplify the abundance of natural light and reiterate a sense of grandeur. The front facing living room enjoys a wonderfully peaceful and open outlook across the stunning tree lined villas of Dundonald Road, with an attractive bay window framing the view and a secondary window enhancing natural light and broadening the outlook. A wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point, and creates a warm and pleasant ambience in cooler months. A contemporary dining kitchen of truly impressive scale allows the possibility of hosting gatherings and ensures a superb hub for daily living.<br/> <br/>The sleeping accommodation is equally impressive. The principal bedroom is a beautifully proportioned double with large windows to both the front and side and benefits from a well-appointed Jack and Jill en suite bathroom, which is also accessible from the reception hallway. The third bedroom is currently arranged primarily as a home office but is of sufficient size to serve as a comfortable double bedroom, whilst an elegant arched window adds further character to the space. In addition to the Jack and Jill bathroom, there is a further contemporary family shower room providing vital practicality.<br/><br/>The apartment also benefits from durable wood flooring throughout, which can be readily adapted to any choice of sanded or waxed finish, for decades to come.<br/><br/>To the rear of the apartment is a delightful shared courtyard with a pleasant planted seating area, private garage, and access to a shared bike shed.<br/> <br/>Bennochy Lodge is set within mature garden grounds on a particularly quiet section of Dundonald Road in Dowanhill, one of Glasgow’s most sought after and architecturally important West End pockets. Leading independent schools including The Glasgow Academy and Kelvinside Academy are within a short commutable distance, while Byres Road, The Botanic Gardens and The University of Glasgow are merely a short walk from this beautiful home. This outstanding and well balanced conversion will prove a compelling proposition for growing families and professionals, in addition to discerning buyers seeking peaceful living, nestled quietly in the very core of Dowanhill.<br/> <br/> <br/>Summary<br/> <br/>• Three bedroom apartment solely occupying the prominent first floor level of this detached villa conversion.<br/>• Category “B” listed sandstone villa dating from approximately 1870.<br/>• Spectacular bay windowed, dual aspect, living room with wood burning stove<br/>• Modern dining kitchen.<br/>• Three well sized bedrooms.<br/>• En suite bathroom (Jack and Jill) and separate family shower room.<br/>• Shared courtyard with planted seating area and bike shed/storage space.<br/>• Private garage for single vehicle.<br/>• Gas central heating.<br/>• Availability of on street residents’ parking.<br/>• Quiet situation just a few minutes’ walk from Byres Road, Botanic Gardens, Hyndland, and Great Western Road.<br/>• Close proximity to several reputable independent and public schools, in addition to the University of Glasgow.<br/>• Short walk to a choice of well appointed gyms.<br/>• Regular bus routes accessible from surrounding thoroughfares with Hillhead Underground a short distance.<br/><br/>EPC: D<br/>Council Tax: F<br/>Tenure: Freehold<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>EPC Rating: D<br/>Council Tax Band: F<br/>
