Return to the age of elegance

Househunters in search of that elusive combination of stunning architecture, a prestigious address and impressive design will be delighted by the latest offerings from Credential Homes.

Set in the most sought after locales of Glasgow, the developer’s latest projects, One Belhaven Terrace in the heart of the cosmopolitan West End and The Library located in the trendy Merchant City, have transformed impressive landmark period buildings into a beautiful collection of unique apartments.

Designed in 1870 by James Thomson, One Belhaven Terrace typifies the classic style of the West End, from its impressive entrance with feature cornicing to its expansive views over Kirklee Terrace and The Botanic Gardens. Five magnificent apartments have been formed within the Victorian townhouse and a coach house, which is situated to the rear of the townhouse building, will hold one further apartment featuring a stunning lounge together with two en suite bedrooms and a large dining kitchen.

Sympathetically restored, One Belhaven Terrace retains many of its original period features such as the hand carved oak panels, Corinthian pillars, and beautiful wrought iron staircases.

Jonathan Law of Credential Homes said, "One Belhaven Terrace is a truly elegant building with tremendous character and original features. Its location in the heart of the West End will also make it highly desirable for those seeking the lifestyle this affluent location offers.

"The Coach House to the rear is truly stunning. Bigger than most modern houses it is a rare opportunity to have a private garden and parking space so close to all that the Bohemian West End has to offer."

Reflecting the grandeur of the façade, all six properties feature two bedrooms and are individually designed, each with its own unique characteristics such as the in-built plasma TV in the kitchen of the ground floor apartment. Contemporary styling has been introduced elegantly to complement the opulence of the remarkable building with a naturally high specification featuring throughout.

Designer, state-of-the-art kitchens incorporating Corian worktops and AEG appliances will delight enthusiastic chefs whilst contemporary bathroom suites designed by Scope Bathrooms with tiling by Porcelanosa and Hansgrohe taps and showers present a beautiful spa-like haven.

The Coach House and Lower Ground Floor apartment both benefit from a private parking space and a private garden area set peacefully to the rear of the townhouse.

Prices at Belhaven Terrace start from £325,000.

Following a £1m investment by the award winning developer, the 19th Stirling Library in the thriving Merchant City has been restored to its former glory and converted into five bespoke apartments, named simply The Library, with one property remaining for sale.

A stunning penthouse duplex apartment with two bedrooms and three bathrooms this beautiful home presents buyers with the rare opportunity to purchase a historic piece of Glasgow from an era when the city was coming of age. Again, retaining original features such as attractive cornicing and stunning ceiling cupolas, the interiors are breathtaking. Contemporary finishes complement the honey-coloured sandstone façade with classic styling creating a highly desirable space to live within one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Glasgow. The penthouse is available to the market for £279,000.

Jonathan Law commented: "The Library, which was built in 1864, embodies the excellence of traditional world-acclaimed Glasgow architecture coupled with a subtle blend of progressive interiors. We have endeavoured to maintain as much of the original design as possible and have preserved the splendour of this illustrious building to such acclaim that all but one property has been sold already."
