Description

This substantial Victorian townhouse presents an exceptional restoration opportunity within Pollokshields, one of Glasgow’s most desirable neighborhoods. The property, constructed from attractive blond sandstone, occupies a prime position at the end of a charming terrace and boasts around 4,391 sq ft of potential across three floors. While currently in need of comprehensive refurbishment, it retains numerous original features such as ornate cornicing, high ceilings, and large bay windows that fill the home with natural light. The lower ground floor houses extensive utility and service rooms with access to the rear garden, ripe for conversion into modern kitchen and living spaces. The main floor consists of a welcoming reception hallway leading to a bay-windowed living area and additional versatile rooms suitable for family use. The upper level hosts four bedrooms alongside a bathroom; the spacious landing offers opportunities for innovative redesign to accommodate contemporary living standards. Externally, the property is complemented by a private walled garden featuring both paved and lawned areas and benefits from on-street parking options. Given its scale and character, there is significant potential for this residence to be converted into a grand family home or developed into boutique apartments or stylish office space (subject to necessary consents). Pollokshields is characterized by its beautiful tree-lined streets and Victorian architecture, enhancing the appeal for developers and buyers looking for investment opportunities in an area boasting strong transport links and local amenities.
