"Glenprosen", 9 Aytoun Road, Pollokshields, G41 5RL

A truly exceptional, bespoke sandstone villa, occupying the ground, first floor and attic levels, (excluding the basement level flat) Glenprosen, dating from 1896, is quietly positioned within mature, level gardens in the highly sought-after Pollokshields district of Glasgow. This grand period home has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically upgraded by its current owners, offering an elegant blend of historical charm and modern comfort across three expansive levels.

The property retains a wealth of original features, including all ceiling roses and intricate plaster cornicing, as well as original woodwork and skirting throughout—testament to the craftsmanship of its era. These details, combined with the home's generous proportions and versatile layout, create an expansive and most impressive living environment.

The ground floor welcomes you through an entrance porch and vestibule into a striking reception hallway, where a feature stairwell sets the tone for the home’s impressive scale and style. Two magnificent public rooms retain their original marble and slate fireplaces and are enhanced by beautiful bay windows that flood the space with natural light. A spacious formal dining room, also featuring a bay window, provides the perfect setting for entertaining. The modern dining kitchen is well-equipped and generously sized, complemented by a convenient utility room and a well-appointed ground floor bathroom.

Upstairs, a half-turn staircase with a stunning original stained-glass window, leads to a bright upper landing. This level comprises four generously proportioned double bedrooms—three of which benefit from elegant bay windows—and a fifth single bedroom, ideal as a nursery, guest room, or home office. A luxurious four-piece bathroom suite completes this floor, featuring a classic roll-top bath that adds a touch of timeless indulgence. A fixed stairwell leads to the fully lined and floored attic room, offering versatile space that could serve as a games room, home gym, entertainment lounge, or even a sixth bedroom, depending on your needs.

Externally, this villa is surrounded by substantial private gardens to the front, side, and rear. The rear garden is particularly special, home to mature apple, pear, and plum trees that provide seasonal harvests and a tranquil setting. Off-street parking is available at the front of the property.

Pollokshields is one of Glasgow’s most desirable residential areas, offering a unique village feel within the city. It is within walking distance of Nithsdale Road’s charming shops and cafés, and enjoys excellent transport links via Pollokshields East and West Railway Station and Shields Road subway. The property is also well placed for access to reputable schooling, including Glasgow’s Gaelic School and Hutchesons Grammar, whilst also benefits from easy road connections to Glasgow City Centre and the Central Belt motorway network.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinguished home that combines architectural heritage, generous living space, and a prime location. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, style, and quality of accommodation on offer.
