3 bed semi-detached house for sale

George Reith Avenue, Jordanhill G12

For families looking to buy within Jordanhill School’s List 1 catchment area, 28 George Reith Avenue offers a particularly interesting proposition: A substantial family home, with considerably more accommodation than its frontage might suggest, and the opportunity to modernise it entirely to your own taste.

Owned by the same family for an extraordinary 69 years, the house has been extended and adapted over the decades, including a double-height extension to the rear and a converted loft. The result is a large and unusually flexible home, with accommodation arranged over several levels and a footprint that would be difficult to appreciate from the street alone.

Internally, the house is undoubtedly of its time, but it has been well kept throughout and provides an excellent starting point for its next owner. Rather than paying a premium for someone else’s renovation, this is an opportunity to take a substantial house in a sought-after Jordanhill address and decide exactly what its next chapter should look like.

On the main floor, a bright front-facing living room leads through to an open-plan dining and family area at the rear, creating a surprisingly generous run of living space. The kitchen sits alongside, with a useful WC and further ancillary accommodation completing this level.

One of the most important features of the house is the double-height extension to the rear. Rather than simply adding another room downstairs, the extension has significantly increased the overall scale and flexibility of the property.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom, while the loft has also been converted to provide a large additional room. Whether used as a bedroom, home office, playroom or something entirely different, it is another example of just how much usable space has been created within the house.

There is further accommodation at lower-ground level, including an additional room and substantial storage areas. For a growing family, someone working from home, or simply a buyer looking for a house capable of changing with them over time, the flexibility is considerable.

Outside, there are gardens to the front and rear, a driveway running alongside the house and a detached garage. The rear garden is relatively low-maintenance at present, but again offers plenty of opportunity for a new owner to put their own stamp on it.

George Reith Avenue has long been popular with families, offering an increasingly difficult-to-find combination of space, value and location within Jordanhill School’s List 1 catchment area. The school is understandably a major part of the attraction, but it is far from the only one. The neighbourhood has a settled, residential feel while remaining exceptionally convenient for the West End, local amenities and transport connections across Glasgow.

There is something particularly appealing about buying a house that hasn’t already had someone else’s idea of the perfect renovation imposed upon it. At 28 George Reith Avenue, the fundamentals are already here: A substantial footprint, extensions already in place, a converted loft, private gardens, driveway and garage, all in one of Glasgow’s most consistently sought-after family locations.

Whilst every effort is made by Yates Hellier to ensure the accuracy of these details, it should be noted that measurements are approximate and all information including service charges, ground ownership and school catchment has been provided by the vendor and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and should be verified through your solicitor and local council.

After 69 years with the same family, this feels like a particularly good opportunity for the next owner to make the house their own.
