Location

The Moss is located on Dalziel Drive, one of the most prestigious residential addresses in Glasgow's South Side, renowned for its architectural heritage and leafy surroundings.

Situated within the Pollokshields Conservation Area, the street is lined with grand Victorian and Edwardian villas, many of which have been sympathetically restored or converted, contributing to the area's enduring charm and character.

Green space is abundant, with Maxwell Park directly opposite the property and Pollok Country Park nearby, offering tranquil settings for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. The area's blend of historic architecture, community atmosphere and accessibility makes it one of Glasgow's most desirable places to live.

Residents benefit from proximity to a wide range of amenities. Nearby, the vibrant hubs of Shawlands and Strathbungo offer an eclectic mix of independent cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops, while larger retailers and supermarkets are easily accessible. The area is also well served by excellent schooling options, both state and independent, making it particularly attractive to families.

Transport links are superb, with Maxwell Park, Crossmyloof, and Dumbreck railway stations all located within one mile, providing swift access to Glasgow Central Station and beyond. There are also frequent bus services and convenient road connections via the M8 and M77 motorways, allowing for easy travel across the city and to Glasgow Airport.

Description

This outstanding lower conversion forms the ground level of a distinguished Victorian villa, offering over 3,200 sq ft (excluding the outbuildings) of beautifully proportioned accommodation. The property is Category B Listed, recognised for its architectural significance and Renaissance-style detailing, with polished yellow ashlar stonework and sculptural features. Originally built in 1891/92 for John Scouller, proprietor of the iconic Horseshoe Bar in Drury Street, the property combines architectural elegance with modern enhancements, set within one of Glasgow's most desirable residential enclaves opposite Maxwell Park.

Upon entering, a grand hallway sets the tone for the scale and elegance found throughout. The principal reception rooms are generously sized and flooded with natural light, with high ceilings, period detailing, and large double glazed sash and case windows that frame views of the surrounding gardens.

The drawing room is wonderfully spacious, distinguished by its large bay window with stained glass and feature fireplace at the focal point. The library offers a more intimate setting, framed by bespoke bookshelves and intricate ceiling mouldings. A central chandelier adds a touch of grandeur, while the large bay window provides a peaceful outlook and ample daylight. This room is perfectly suited for reading, study, or relaxed evenings with a gas burning stove at the centre. The dining room is a showpiece of the home, combining scale with ornate craftsmanship. It features a richly decorated ceiling with carved woodwork and patterned detailing. Three tall windows allow light to pour in, illuminating the fireplace with living flame fire. The architectural detailing and proportions make this an exceptional space for hosting guests in style.

French doors open to the impressive and thoughtfully designed split level kitchen and casual dining area. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of high and low level cabinets, granite worktops and integrated appliances including a wine fridge.

The Moss benefits from four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is located in the former billiards room and offers a spacious and comfortable space with dressing room and en suite shower room. The large windows overlooking the garden and high ceilings create a luxurious feel. Three further double bedrooms offer flexible accommodation. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring marble-patterned walls, a built-in bath, walk-in shower, and low level wash hand basin.

Externally, the property is approached via a drive-in drive-out gravel driveway and enjoys private, landscaped gardens to the front and rear thanks to the large corner plot. A well-maintained lawn is bordered by mature hedges and bushes, while tall trees and dense foliage enhance the sense of privacy and seclusion.

Additional accommodation includes a former Coachhouse and laundry room now in use as a double garage with stair access to a versatile upper garage level, ideal for use as a studio or gym, and a dedicated storage room.

This exceptional home represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial and stylish residence in one of Glasgow's most prestigious addresses.
