This delightful upper conversion of a magnificent “A” listed townhouse, forms part of an elegant two-storey Victorian terrace built in the late 1870’s on the banks of the White Cart Water. The property forms part of the eastern end pavilion of the terrace, which is believed to have been designed by the famous Glasgow architect, Alexander "Greek" Thomson, or posthumously by his architectural partner, Robert Turnbull.

One of Scotland’s most celebrated architects, Alexander “Greek” Thomson was born at Balfron in Stirlingshire in 1817. He spent most of his working life in and around Glasgow until his death in 1875. In the Victorian era Thomson created many of the most unique secular and ecclesiastical buildings, blending archetypical Greek styling with Egyptian and other neoclassical themes.

A private main door entrance vestibule and internal staircase leads to the spacious first floor hallway, off of which is direct access to all apartments. The impressive formal lounge has a feature fireplace and east facing bay window, offering elevated open aspects across the adjacent White Cart Water and Albert Park. A spacious dining kitchen is well fitted out with modern base and wall mounted storage units and a range of integrated appliances. There are 3 double bedrooms, whilst the bathroom is fitted out with a contemporary 3-piece white suite.

The property has been upgraded internally to a high standard of finish, blending modern fitments with period features such as ornate cornicing and a marble fireplace in the lounge. The property further benefits from having hardwood timber flooring within main apartments, gas central heating and timber framed sash and casement double glazing. Externally there is a driveway to the side of the property providing off street parking.

The property forms part of the established Langside district, convenient for access to a wide range of local shopping facilities within Battlefield, a more diverse range of shops within nearby Shawlands and a Morrisons supermarket in Newlands. The property is also well positioned for accessing a host of other amenities, including Queens Park, a Greens Health Club, the Victoria Infirmary, Langside College and Silverburn Shopping Centre.

There are excellent public transport links serving the area, with local buses and Langside Railway Station a short walk from the property, providing frequent services to surrounding districts and the city centre. Primary and secondary schooling is also catered for close by.
