A PIECE IN THE VALLEY –

GLASGOW’S property market never fails to produce unexpected and unknown gems, such as 3, The Stables in Crookston, a quirky red sandstone terraced house forming part of what was originally the stable block for nearby Ross Hall, a baronial mansion built circa 1886 for James Cowan of Hawkhead – now Ross Hall Hospital.

The former stable block was converted into a boutique-style courtyard development retaining its original façade and characteristic crow-stepped gables, entrance archway, impressive communal gardens and best of all, a stunning inner communal courtyard with glazed roof, which allows it to be used in all weathers.

Inside, the ground floor layout features a reception hall (built-in storage and staircase), two reception rooms – both with box-bay windows – and a well-equipped fitted galley-style kitchen. Upstairs are three double bedrooms (master with ensuite shower room) and main bathroom.

Notable features include the period living room fireplace and French doors into the communal inner courtyard. The dining room also benefits from a full-height glass door giving access to the inner courtyard.

The Stables is well placed for access to Silverburn shopping centre, schools and transport – Crookston station is within walking distance, while the M77/M8 motorway is a short drive. Crookston is a predominantly modern suburb which makes this period gem a rarity – details from Rettie’s Shawlands office, offers over £220,000.
