Unique three bedroom home in former West End observatory hits the market

A three bedroom home in the Partickhill area has hit the market, having been ‘tastefully and substantially’ renovated by the previous owners.

14 Hillside Gardens sits in a quiet and secluded spot just off North Gardner Street - within the Glasgow West Conservation Area. Constructed in the early 1900s, the property was commissioned as a private observatory.

Evidence of the building’s life as an observatory is still visible, with the circular shapes on the ceiling and steel plates on walls - which once held up the telescopic mounts. 14 Hillside Gardens Lane hit the market this week, currently accepting offers over £419,000.

Spread across three levels, entrance to the home is made through a welcoming reception hall with three spacious bedrooms, a ‘bright’ dining room and a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, an impressive living room and private roof terrace offers natural light into the home.

An off road parking space comes with the home, as well as full insulation to ensure lower energy costs. The area boasts a number of dining out and socialising options, and an array of boutique shops.

Transport links into the city centre are close by, with Hyndland Train Station and Hillhead Underground Station a short walk away.

Property agents Rettie & Co describe the home on their listing, stating: “Via double doors the property enters into a welcoming reception hall on the ground floor level, with black and white checked floor covering and carpeted stairs to upper levels.

“Bedroom one is a double rear facing room with fresh decoration and neutral colour carpet floor coverings, bedroom two is a double sized rear facing room with neutral carpet floor coverings and a generously fitted wardrobe.

“Bedroom three is an excellent double guest bedroom with vanity storage and complete with neutral colour carpet floor coverings. The bathroom has been tastefully refitted and comprises WC, wash hand basin with vanity storage, and bath with shower attachment over.

“There is a wonderful bright and spacious dining room with a pleasant outlook and complete utility cupboard and storage off, together with a semi-open plan kitchen and timber oak effect floor covering. On the upper floor is the bright living room combined with the double terrace doors, ensuring wonderful natural light.”
