Quite simply a “one of a kind” three bedroom house on Great Western Terrace Lane, arranged across two levels and encompassing a lovely rear garden and a fantastic elevated conservatory, that opens to a south facing balcony.<br/><br/>Discreetly located between Great Western Terrace and Westbourne Gardens, this remarkable property enjoys a fascinating history. Originally constructed following the turn of the twentieth century, it is understood to have evolved alongside the rise of the motor car, serving as a substantial coach house and garage with accommodation for a chauffeur. Over the decades, the building has been thoughtfully adapted and extended, culminating in a highly imaginative and sympathetic refurbishment that has transformed it into a versatile contemporary home.<br/><br/>Of particular note is the dramatic conversion of the former upper-level games room into a breathtaking open plan kitchen and living space. Defined by its impressive scale, restored vaulted ceiling and abundance of natural light, it forms the heart of the home. Double doors open directly into a striking south and west facing conservatory, which in turn leads to a gorgeous terrace, creating a seamless connection between the interior and outdoor spaces. This arrangement lends itself particularly well to entertaining and everyday living, allowing the home to be enjoyed to its fullest during the warmer months and providing a sense of indoor/outdoor flow.<br/><br/>The setting is equally special. Great Western Terrace was designed by the renowned architect Alexander "Greek" Thomson and is widely regarded as one of the most monumental and architecturally distinguished terraces lining Great Western Road. To the other side, Westbourne Gardens shares a similarly impressive architectural provenance, together creating one of the West End's most admired residential enclaves. Their historic significance, enduring elegance and commanding presence continue to define this highly sought-after corner of Glasgow's West End.<br/><br/>The house is entered through a private entrance door from Great Western Terrace Lane and unfolds with a remarkable sense of individuality. An inviting reception hall provides access to three double bedrooms. An invaluable utility room sits alongside a versatile seating or home office area.<br/><br/>To the rear, a partially glazed door opens to a private enclosed garden, while a secondary hallway leads to an ingeniously designed wet room shower suite. A charming curved staircase, illuminated by period style leaded glass windows, rises to the upper level.<br/><br/>Situated just off Westbourne Gardens, the property occupies an enviable position within Glasgow's highly regarded Hyndland district. Byres Road, Hyndland Road, Dowanhill and the vibrant heart of the West End are all within easy reach, offering an exceptional range of cafés, restaurants, bars, boutiques, sports facilities and public transport links. The Botanic Gardens, the University of Glasgow and the city centre are also conveniently accessible, making this a uniquely placed home of considerable architectural interest and lifestyle appeal.<br/><br/>Accommodation: <br/><br/>• Private entrance from Great Western Terrace Lane.<br/>• Reception hall leading to the ground floor apartments.<br/>• Bedroom two with three section window to the front and focal point fire surround.<br/>• Bedroom three with three section window to the front and built-in storage.<br/>• Fitted modern utility with adjacent dining or office area which has a five-section window to the rear.<br/>• Bedroom one with feature glass brick window to the front and a further door to the front which is partially glazed. <br/>• Back door from hall, also partially glazed to private rear garden.<br/>• Back hallway leading down to the shower room which has an understair storage cupboard and a four-section window to the side/rear.<br/>• Cleverly designed shower room/wet room with window to the side/rear, WC, wash hand basin and walk-in wet room, shower area with all mounted electric shower. <br/>• Charming stairway from the back hallway which leads to the first floor and has a leaded glass window. <br/>• Spectacular, first floor main lounge/dining room with three windows to the front, beautiful original floor (restored) vaulted ceiling, wood burner, leaded glass window to the rear and double doors leading out to the sunroom.<br/>• Fabulous fitted kitchen on an open plan basis to the lounge/dining room with built-in appliances. <br/>• Extraordinary sunroom (south facing) of unique and innovative design with sliding glass doors to the sun terrace.<br/><br/>EPC: E<br/>Council Tax: G<br/>Tenure: Freehold<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>EPC Rating: E<br/>Council Tax Band: G<br/>
