3 bed flat for sale

148 Queen's Drive, Flat 1/1, Queen's Park, Glasgow G42

A rare and beautifully presented first-floor flat in a traditional blond-sandstone tenement on Queen's Drive, overlooking Queen's Park
This is a genuinely unique home. Rarely does a property of these proportions, layout and location come to the market, and it presents an exceptional opportunity to own something truly special in one of the Southside's most prestigious districts. Its wealth of original period features has been carefully preserved and decorated in a contemporary way that lends itself perfectly to modern living.
Behind substantial and ornate double vestibule doors, the flat opens into a welcoming hallway that sets the tone throughout: Soaring ceilings, original ornate cornicing, stripped wooden floors and generous proportions, all beautifully maintained.
At the heart of the home is a spacious and elegant living and dining room, formed by opening the two principal public rooms into a single, wonderfully expansive space. Large south-facing windows flood the room with natural light and frame outlooks over the park, flowing open-plan into the dining area, while decorative ceiling roses, ornate cornicing and natural timber floors lend real period grandeur.
The dining kitchen is a genuine highlight, designed around a striking terrazzo marble island with breakfast seating, complemented by a range cooker set within a tiled chimney recess and a walk-in pantry providing excellent storage.
There are three generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is exceptional in scale, with a traditional bay window, ornate cornicing, an original carved timber fireplace and a walk-in wardrobe. A further double bedroom and a flexible third double, currently arranged as a home office, complete the sleeping accommodation. The bathroom is recently finished to a high standard with a three-piece suite and bath with shower over.
Storage is unusually generous, with two large cupboards in the hallway, the kitchen pantry, and a private, secure coal store cupboard in the basement. Externally, it enjoys access to well-maintained communal garden grounds to the rear, a leafy shared space offering a welcome retreat in the heart of the city.

The property enjoys a highly sought-after position within the prestigious district of Queen's Park, offering the perfect balance of tranquil living and easy access to a wealth of local amenities. Just moments from the vibrant Victoria Road and Pollokshaws Road, residents can enjoy a superb selection of shops, cafés and services, while the trendy bars and restaurants of Strathbungo and Shawlands are within walking distance, providing a cosmopolitan atmosphere ideal for dining and socialising. For more extensive shopping, the renowned Silverburn Shopping Centre is only a ten-minute drive away, offering a diverse range of high-street and luxury brands.
The area is rich in recreational and cultural offerings, with the award-winning Pollok Park and the internationally acclaimed Queen's Park just moments from your door, and the nearby Tramway performing arts venue, home to the Scottish Ballet, adding to the area's cultural significance. Commuting is effortless, with frequent bus and train services offering quick access to Glasgow city centre and beyond, and Queen's Park train station just a four-minute walk away. The property is also within close proximity to a selection of highly regarded public and private schools, making it a fantastic option for families.
