2 bed flat for sale

17 Beaconsfield Road, Glasgow G12

An exceptional main door, two-bedroom apartment combining the grandeur and character of a Victorian home with the comfort and simplicity of modern living, occupying an elevated position within one of Kelvinside’s most admired blonde sandstone terraces.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a quiet confidence about the property. The private entrance, generous proportions and residents’ off-street parking immediately distinguish it from so many West End flats, while inside, every room has been thoughtfully redesigned with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship and timeless elegance.

The centrepiece of the home is an outstanding drawing room. Beautifully proportioned, with high ceilings, intricate period cornicing, an impressive bay window and a brand-new wood-burning stove, it is a room that feels grand yet remarkably comfortable. Bathed in natural light throughout the day, it’s a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing or simply watching the seasons change through the mature trees beyond.

The kitchen has been completely reconfigured and finished to an exceptional standard, offering timeless cabinetry, quality worktops and excellent storage. Every element has been chosen for longevity rather than fashion, resulting in a space that feels effortlessly elegant and entirely in keeping with the character of the home.

The principal bedroom is equally impressive, generous in scale and flooded with natural light. The second bedroom offers excellent flexibility and is equally suited as a dressing room, reading room, home office or guest bedroom.

A beautifully appointed contemporary bathroom completes the accommodation, finished with quality sanitaryware and understated porcelain tiling.

During their ownership, the current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of renovation, including a bespoke new kitchen, new bathroom, replacement boiler and central heating system, new floor coverings throughout, new lighting and complete redecoration. The result is not simply a renovated apartment, but a home where every detail has been carefully considered and every finish selected with longevity in mind.

The current owners often remark that, despite being only moments from the heart of the West End, the apartment feels wonderfully secluded. Mature greenery softens the outlook, the main door provides a genuine sense of independence, and residents’ parking removes one of the area’s everyday frustrations.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully maintained communal gardens together with the increasingly rare benefit of residents’ off-street parking. Combined with the private entrance, it offers a lifestyle that feels remarkably similar to owning a house while retaining the convenience and ease of apartment living.

Perfectly positioned on Beaconsfield Road, the apartment sits within easy reach of Great Western Road, Byres Road and Hyndland, placing an outstanding selection of cafés, restaurants, independent shops and excellent transport links all within comfortable walking distance.

Whilst every effort is made by Yates Hellier to ensure the accuracy of these details, it should be noted that measurements are approximate and all information including service charges, ground ownership and school catchment has been provided by the vendor and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and should be verified through your solicitor and local council.

Homes like this are increasingly rare. A handsome main door conversion with off-street parking is unusual enough. One that has been re-imagined to this exceptional standard, where every detail has already been considered and nothing needs to be done, is rarer still. We expect it will appeal particularly to those looking to downsize without compromise, offering all the elegance of a substantial Victorian home with none of the work.
