1 Receptions
4 Beds

Forming part of an impressive row of blonde sandstone terrace homes on Shields Road, this home is a fine example of a handsome converted duplex in the sought after conservation area of Pollokshields.  This home has been exquisitely presented throughout with luxurious touches, expertly blending modern with original features in every corner of the home.

The home is grade B listed, and as a building of historical and/or architectural importance, it was built circa 1870 and was the Manse house for Pollokshields West Free Church from 1875.  This is a truly special home and viewing is essential in order to appreciate its grandeur.

Accommodation as follows; Entrance vestibule via storm doors, grand shared reception hallway (with original tiling) with large, traditional, sweeping staircase leading up to the duplex apartment.  The original wooden balustrade throughout the home is of particular note.

Located on the first floor of the apartment is the front facing formal drawing room, boasting a triple window formation and an absolutely stunning fireplace with woodburning fire.  There is conveniently located WC which also accommodates a cleverly concealed utility area.  Flowing on to the open plan dining kitchen and TV/dining room.  The Kitchen is presented in modern, timeless décor with floor and wall mounted cabinets, completed with breakfast bar.  The TV Lounge/Dining area is again tastefully presented with woodburning fireplace with  Patio doors off, giving direct access to the shared garden area.

Flowing upwards to the bedroom suite where there are 4 generously proportioned bedrooms with the principal facing to the front enhanced by a luxurious bathing area (and a separate ensuite shower room), with the second largest bedroom (rear facing), again with ensuite shower room. This floor is of particular note with the grandeur of the sweeping staircase continuing throughout, with the upper hallway bathed in natural light with the addition of 2 velux windows.  This floor also provides direct access on to roof via an original staircase off upper landing.

Externally the property affords garden grounds to the rear. The shared rear garden is hard landscaped for ease of maintenance with the apartment’s section of the garden (decked and secluded),  located to the rear of the garden; a wonderful spot for entertaining/alfresco dining.

The home is further enhanced by gas central heating.

The property is positioned within a short distance of shops and amenities on Albert Drive and Nithsdale Road where thriving coffee shops, restaurants and delis are abundant. More extensive amenities are located at Queens Park, Shawlands, Crossmyloof or Newlands and for further retail endeavours Silverburn shopping centre is close by.

Recreational pursuits are many and varied: Pollok Country Park where Pollok House and the Burrell Collection can be found, The House for an Art Lover, the Tramway Theatre, Haggs Golf Club, Titwood Tennis and Bowling club, Bellahouston Ski and Sports Centre and Maxwell Park. Commuting is swift and simple, M8 access is only a short drive away, Pollokshields East, Pollokshields West train stations and Shields Road subway station are within a 10 mins walk and bus service available just around the corner on Albert Drive.
