Situation: 12 Winton Drive is quietly situated within the fashionable Kelvinside area of Glasgow's West End. Acknowledged as one of Glasgow's most exclusive enclaves, Kelvinside lies less than four miles from Glasgow city centre and is within walking distance of Glasgow University, the Botanic Gardens, Gartnavel General Hospital and The Western Infirmary. Winton Drive is within easy access of first class commuter links and the wealth of amenities associated with this area of Glasgow. Examples of Glasgow's Victorian and Edwardian architectural heritage can be seen throughout the city although they are nowhere more prevalent than in the West End. Over 100 years ago the burgeoning mercantile class were attracted to the area's grand detached and terraced family homes designed by architects such as Alexander - Greek' Thomson, Charles Wilson, John Keppie, David Barclay and Sir John James Burnet. Today this affluent area attracts upwardly mobile professionals and families who can enjoy the ambience of city living at its best. Kelvinside is within the catchment of reputable primary and secondary schools and the property is less than a third of a mile from Kelvinside Academy. Other private schools readily accessible to the property include Glasgow Academy and Glasgow High School, both also renowned for their academic excellence. The burgeoning West End of Glasgow is one of the city's cultural centres and affords a number of defining institutions including the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow University, the Botanic Gardens, as well as the Kelvinhall Sports Centre and Transport Museum. Byres Road, one mile from the property, is widely regarded as the hub of the West End and offers a number of trendy bars, fine restaurants and shops and is the focal point of the annual West End Festival.

12 Winton Drive is the epitome of style and gracious living.

Built at the start of the 20th century the property is a fine example of classic, early Edwardian architecture. It is one of the few remaining detached family homes in the West End to be held under one title and independent ownership. The front elevation is distinguished by its ashlar balconied portico defined by its twin circular columns. The property's numerous defining architectural features have been carefully retained, including original sash and case windows, balustrades, ornate plaster coving, dado panelling, ceiling plasterwork, stained glass windows, period marble fireplaces, architraves and skirtings.

Set amidst well screened tree lined garden grounds which are enclosed and southerly facing to the rear, the property features a attached, self contained mews cottage and offers scope for reinstatement as a single dwelling house or division into self contained and lettable flats.

The property has been partially converted with two principal upper and lower conversions, together with a self contained flat and the attached mews. The current accommodation layout provides considerable flexibility in its usage but is held under one title.

The accommodation on the ground floor comprises entrance portico, dining hallway, drawing room, sitting room/double bedroom, two further double bedrooms, kitchen, utility room, Sanitan bathroom and separate cloakroom. The first floor, independently accessed by an external staircase, comprises a lower hallway, upper hallway, magnificent sitting room with period fireplace, five bedrooms, fitted kitchen (scope for conversion to en suite facility) and two bathrooms. A concealed staircase provides access to a self-contained second floor flat (ideal teenage quarters), which incorporates a sitting room, double bedroom, fitted kitchen and bathroom. The attached mews cottage provides a sitting room, study/nursery, two double bedrooms, kitchenette, bathroom and separate toilet.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are afforded a considerable measure of privacy by mature deciduous trees which enclose mature lawns and well tended flower beds with a wide variety of plant life. The front gardens feature a horse shoe shaped driveway with two sets of wrought iron gates and the side driveway provides access to a detached single garage.
