About this property
##closing date set for Thursday 10th September at 12.00PM##
There are certain things you simply don’t expect to find with a West End flat. Your own private garden, accessed directly from the property, is fairly high on that list.
Set on the ground floor of an elegant blonde sandstone terrace, 8 Doune Gardens occupies an elevated position, raised and set back from street level. Doune Gardens itself is a particularly peaceful, one-way street, with a wonderfully green outlook to the front and the Kelvin Walkway and River Kelvin just moments away.
The living room is a real highlight, extending to almost seven metres in length, with a broad bay window framing the leafy outlook to the front. High ceilings, ornate cornicing and a wood-burning stove give the room plenty of character, while the simple decoration and timber flooring keep everything feeling light and unfussy.
To the rear is a bright dining kitchen, but importantly, this is also where the flat begins to behave rather differently from most; a door leading directly outside and into the property’s private rear garden, creating a connection between the kitchen and outdoor space. The garden is enclosed, established and arranged over different levels, giving it a secluded feel that is remarkably difficult to find this close to the heart of the West End.
The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with pleasant views over the private garden. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a raised study area with useful built-in storage, however it offers the flexibility to accommodate a bed and function as a second bedroom if required.
The bathroom has been completely renewed during the current ownership and is well finished, with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and contemporary fittings. Over their five years here, the owners have also installed a new boiler as well as carrying out considerable improvements to the garden.
The ability to step straight outside from a traditional West End flat into a garden of your own changes how the property can be lived in, particularly somewhere as green as this. Add the quiet position, elevated outlook and immediate access to the Kelvin Walkway, and 8 Doune Gardens feels surprisingly removed from the city, despite being right in the middle of it.
