‘Outstanding’ Art Deco home in a Glasgow suburb hits the market

The movement’s impact quickly spread and in Scotland, architects and designers incorporated features into their work, resulting in fashionable new villas, shops, cafés, and cinemas, many of which remain and now have listed status.

(Image: Corum) Located south of the river Clyde in the high amenity suburb of Newton Mearns, Whitegables is an exemplary, flat-roofed detached villa distinguished by its classic Art Deco design and sizeable corner setting on Kirkview Crescent, within beautifully landscaped garden grounds. 

Built circa 1930, the property has since been extended on one side and provides superb family accommodation spanning more than 2,600 sq ft over two levels. On the ground floor, a striking black and white entrance hall sets the scene, paving the way to a front-facing formal sitting room partially open plan to a dining room, the latter with access into a spectacular 29ft family room with access to a decked terrace and garden beyond. 

From the family room, an inner hallway gives access to a bedroom with garden access, adjacent storage room, and integral double garage. On the other side of the main reception hall is a cloakroom, study/fifth bedroom, and large, dual aspect dining kitchen with garden access and adjacent utility.

In addition, the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, as does the second bedroom, while the 24ft third bedroom is adjacent to the family bathroom and has the largest balcony – at 32ft wide, it spans almost the full width of the front of the house.

Featuring hardwood flooring throughout the main accommodation, the monochromatic interior is dramatic and complements this incredible home’s classic Art Deco features – window and door styles, coving, and stair balustrades – and choice of finishes. 

(Image: Corum) Nowhere is this clearer than the sitting room and kitchen, the former with an elongated, curved bay window, and fluted black and white fireplace, while the integrated kitchen displays pristine white units with contrasting black work surfaces, black geometric tiled border, and dazzling black and white geometric tiled floor.

Externally bordered by mature trees and shrubs, the property is set in expansive, level garden grounds incorporating lawns, planted beds, and horseshoe driveway with parking for several vehicles. 

Whitegables is a truly outstanding home, located in a prime property hotspot with nearby M77/M8 access, and within walking distance of open countryside.
