Morven House, 11 Dungoyne Street, Maryhill Park, Glasgow, G20 0BA

Morven House, 11 Dungoyne Street is a beautiful sandstone mid-terrace home in the highly sought-after enclave of Maryhill Park. The house is part of a unique group of eight properties by architect John Gordon, built in 1901 and pre-dating most local development.

The original character of the building has been lovingly maintained, while the current owners have invested in making the property a comfortable and highly practical modern family home. Superior materials and techniques have been used throughout the building, with polished-wood floors, carefully restored and draft-proofed sash-and-case windows, and freshly painted original plasterwork in most rooms.

Grand outer doors open onto a tiled porch with stained glass, a welcoming hallway and an impressive original staircase. The bay-windowed living room and formal dining room both feature intricate period plasterwork. At the rear of the house, an extension completely remodeled in 2021 now comprises a downstairs lavatory cloakroom, a laundry and drying room, and a serious cook’s kitchen. New double-glazed, aluminum French doors open to an enclosed and private outdoor space with new decking.

The first floor has three well-proportioned double bedrooms, while the top level has another huge double bedroom, plus another useful bedroom which could double as a study or store. Two spacious, recently installed bathrooms, one with a tub and the other with a walk-in tiled shower, occupy half-landings between floors. A small but pretty front garden with mature trees and shrubs screens the house from the quiet street.

Maryhill Park is one of Glasgow’s hidden-gem neighbourhoods, with lovely walks on the doorstep, great public transport links, and access to good schools. Morven House would make a marvelous family home, or an ideal work-from-home base for a professional couple.
