Conversions can be an ideal compromise when you only want a portion of the period elegance and spatial hallmarks of traditional property, without having to pay for a full serving, while the bonus is generally a home with unique status and a contemporary interior into the bargain.
Occupying a prime position on Somerset Place in the Kelvingrove area of Glasgow, Number 1A is an unparalleled main door garden flat conversion completed to a high specification just two years ago. Adding to its appeal, the property includes a private parking space, sizeable south-facing, outdoor terrace – and highly convenient lift access via the apartment’s rear door, eliminating the need for external stair access.
Inside, this three-bedroomed home makes a bold statement in every respect, with features that include a dual aspect, open plan living area and dining kitchen – a wonderfully bright space with herringbone wood flooring, bespoke fittings, and a high-end fully fitted/integrated kitchen (a culinary enthusiast’s dream) complete with Quooker tap, wine fridge, and breakfast bar for informal dining.
The principal bedroom is a tranquil haven and includes a walk-through dressing room with superb, fitted storage en route to a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom. The second bedroom is also en suite, while the similarly spacious third bedroom is an adaptable room suitable for study/home working or alternative uses.
An L-shaped hall, utility room, and large, Porcelanosa-tiled family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, complete this lower-ground floor flat’s accommodation, which spans almost 1,600 square feet in total.
The L-shaped outdoor terrace is a key attraction that includes low maintenance composite decking to permit full advantage of its south-facing orientation. Local attractions within walking distance include trendy cafés, boutique shops, and nearby Kelvingrove Park and art gallery.
1A Somerset Place is an immaculately presented home and easily accessible home in a highly coveted location that will appeal to all ages, from discerning professionals to families and downsizers seeking a refined home and high-amenity city lifestyle.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
