THE most exciting properties are often flats and terraces with a conformist external façade that gives no clue as to what lies inside – such as an upper duplex conversion of an A-listed blonde sandstone townhouse in the prestigious Park area of Glasgow. Designed by eminent architect James Lang circa 1823, Number 9 Lynedoch Place has a breath-taking interior and specification far exceeding any pre-conceived expectations.
Entered via a secure entry system into a well-maintained communal hall, a traditional staircase leads up the duplex’s main accommodation, comprising reception hall leading to a beautifully conceived dining kitchen semi open plan to an outstanding dual aspect drawing room/library. Completing this level is a large, fully tiled family bathroom with underfloor heating and freestanding roll-top bath.
A contemporary glass staircase leads up to a landing with fitted storage, off which are two spacious double bedrooms – principal with a jaw-dropping en suite bathroom boasting separate walk-in shower, twin basins with storage underneath, standout freestanding oval bathtub and a striking stone-clad fireplace with television recessed into the wall above the bio ethanol fire – plus an additional shower room adjoining the second bedroom.
Spanning more than 2,000 sq ft across the building’s first and second floors, this interior showcases the very best of old and new: the former exemplified by traditional room proportions, deep skirtings, exquisite multi-tier plasterwork, ornately carved architrave and wood panelling; the new showcased by sophisticated lighting (chandeliers being obligatory), hardwood flooring, underfloor heating in all three bath/shower rooms, two striking fireplaces housing energy efficient, eco-friendly bio ethanol fires, and fully integrated handle-less kitchen units with floor-level lighting. The apartment’s decoration also pays homage
to traditional heritage colours, which further heighten the character features and traditional room dimensions. There is a residents’ parking area at the rear of the building, and residents’ permit parking (available on request from Glasgow City Council).
Park district is a Conservation Area bordered by the city centre, Kelvingrove
Park and Woodlands, which makes city centre and West End shops and other amenities easily accessible, while the M8 can be accessed in minutes at Charing Cross.
