Glasgow property: B-listed mansion and former Pollokshields nursing home for sale for £1 million

Ever fancied yourself living in your own mansion? If you have a spare £1 million, this could be for you.

This landmark honey stone mansion located in the affluent suburb of Pollokshields has just hit the market.

And while it will probably be a do-er upper, considering it formerly operated as a 23 bed nursing home, it does mean you could officially squeeze the whole family (and their friends in).

Located in the heart of the south side, the property occupies a prominent corner site with dual access to St Andrews Drive and Maxwell Drive, and is a two-minute walk from Maxwell Park.

The property is category B-listed and was constructed in 1875. It still retains its original features, such as tiled floors and a stunning staircase, but also has additions from a number of extensions over the years.

Alongside the original house, the property now is made up of an integral former owner’s flat, bedroom extensions, a conservatory dining area linking to mews style office and ancillary accommodation in the former stables.

And if gardening is for you, there are landscaped gardens, outbuildings and a garden with a gate. It also has off-street parking and a bin storage area.

Of course, you may feel a mansion is too big to rattle around in yourself - and the house can still be used as an nursing home, made into flats, or something else spectacular - subject to planning permissions.

DM Hall Partner, Jonathan McManus, said: “This building is a landmark property which, over the years, has had many admirers. The opportunities before its purchaser are intriguing.

“From a spectacular family home to a high-quality conversion to unique apartments, or again as a refurbished nursing home, the long-term attractions of Pollokshields as a highly-desirable area in which to live give me a clear sense that there will be a great interest in this handsome, imposing property.”
