“I’ve learnt to go with my INSTINCT. Eyebrows were raised with my DARK painted ceilings and bold tiling, but I am DELIGHTED with them
1 “Get the feel of a space, before committing”
‘We almost didn’t look at this property as we thought it was over-priced, but we are so pleased we did. The original features, ceiling heights and room proportions were incredible, and there were stunning views of Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens. The surrounding trees created a dappled light that we could never have appreciated via an online listing – it completely won us over. We made an offer after one 20-minute visit.’
