9 Kirklee Terrace, Kirklee G12

In Glasgow’s West End, there are only a handful of addresses people recognise immediately and Kirklee Terrace is one of them

It’s the sort of terrace that people notice even if they’ve never been inside. South-facing, grandly proportioned, and positioned right beside the entrance to the Botanical Gardens, it has long been considered one of the West End’s most distinguished addresses.

Flat 1/1,9 Kirklee Terrace occupies the preferred first floor of this remarkable terrace. From the moment you step into the principal reception room, the scale becomes clear. The ceiling rises high above intricately detailed cornicing, tall sash windows draw in the light, and the outlook stretches across the gardens, chimney pots and treetops towards the West End beyond. It’s the kind of room that reminds you why these buildings were designed the way they were.

The apartment itself has been carefully lived in and enjoyed by the current owner for almost forty years. They moved here from another home in the neighbourhood, drawn by the architecture, the aspect, and the particular calm that Kirklee Terrace seems to hold despite being only moments from Byres Road.

The accommodation today is arranged as a generous drawing room and dining space, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom and en-suite (toilet) off the master bedroom, all connected by a central hall.

The proportions are classic West End townhouse conversion: Big windows, tall ceilings and rooms that feel comfortable rather than cramped.

It would be fair to say the interior reflects its long ownership. The apartment is presented in lived-in condition and offers a clear opportunity for a new owner to modernise or reconfigure the space to their own taste, subject to the usual consents. What is already here however, and impossible to replicate, are the bones of the building itself. The ceiling work, the scale of the principal room, the outlook, and the position within the terrace are things that time simply does not reproduce.

Outside, residents enjoy access to the beautifully maintained pleasure gardens that stretch across the front of the terrace, along with the rare privilege of a private gate providing direct access into the Botanical Gardens.

For someone willing to invest a little imagination and care, Flat 1,9 Kirklee Terrace represents a rare opportunity: A chance to create a wonderful home within one of the most admired terraces in Glasgow’s West End.
