An exceptional lower conversion within a handsome Victorian villa

Description
This outstanding lower conversion forms the ground level of a distinguished Victorian villa, offering over 3,200 sq ft (excluding the outbuildings) of beautifully proportioned accommodation. The property is Category B Listed, recognised for its architectural significance and Renaissance-style detailing, with polished yellow ashlar stonework and sculptural features. Originally built in 1891/92 for John Scouller, proprietor of the iconic Horseshoe Bar in Drury Street, the property combines architectural elegance with modern enhancements, set within one of Glasgow’s most desirable residential enclaves opposite Maxwell Park.

Upon entering, a grand hallway sets the tone for the scale and elegance found throughout. The principal reception rooms are generously sized and flooded with natural light, with high ceilings, period detailing, and large double glazed sash and case windows that frame views of the surrounding gardens.

The drawing room is wonderfully spacious, distinguished by its large bay window with stained glass and feature fireplace at the focal point. The library offers a more intimate setting, framed by bespoke bookshelves and intricate ceiling mouldings. A central chandelier adds a touch of grandeur, while the large bay window provides a peaceful outlook and ample daylight. This room is perfectly suited for reading, study, or relaxed evenings with a gas burning stove at the centre. The dining room is a showpiece of the home, combining scale with ornate craftsmanship. It features a richly decorated ceiling with carved woodwork and patterned detailing. Three tall windows allow light to pour in, illuminating the fireplace with living flame fire. The architectural detailing and proportions make this an exceptional space for hosting guests in style.

French doors open to the impressive and thoughtfully designed split level kitchen and casual dining area. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of high and low level cabinets, granite worktops and integrated appliances including a wine fridge.

The Moss benefits from four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is located in the former billiards room and offers a spacious and comfortable space with dressing room and en suite shower room. The large windows overlooking the garden and high ceilings create a luxurious feel. Three further double bedrooms offer flexible accommodation. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring marble-patterned walls, a built-in bath, walk-in shower, and low level wash hand basin.

Externally, the property is approached via a drive-in drive-out gravel driveway and enjoys private, landscaped gardens to the front and rear thanks to the large corner plot. A well-maintained lawn is bordered by mature hedges and bushes, while tall trees and dense foliage enhance the sense of privacy and seclusion.

Additional accommodation includes a former Coachhouse and laundry room now in use as a double garage with stair access to a versatile upper garage level, ideal for use as a studio or gym, and a dedicated storage room.

This exceptional home represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial and stylish residence in one of Glasgow’s most prestigious addresses.
