Description

Situated within one of the West End’s most iconic and prestigious conversions, this beautifully presented one-bedroom elevated ground floor conversion occupies a quiet yet central position in the heart of Hillhead, just moments from Byres Road and Glasgow University. Forming part of a former red sandstone church building converted by RH Developments between 2018 and 2020, 8 Lilybank Terrace is now regarded as one of the most attractive residential addresses in the West End of Glasgow, combining breathtaking architecture with secure, modern living.

This elegant apartment benefits from a private, allocated parking space within a secure gated courtyard, a particularly rare and valuable feature in such a central location. Residents access the building through a stunning communal hallway, rich in original character and detail. With soaring ceiling heights, striking stained glass windows, and ornate period features, the entrance alone sets the tone for the quality and unique natureof this special home.

Lilybank Terrace enjoys an incredibly convenient yet peaceful setting, just off Great George Street and a short stroll from Byres Road (0.3 miles) and Glasgow University (0.4 miles). The neighbourhood is characterised by its leafy streets, historic architecture, and proximity to some of the West End’s best-loved cafés, independent food retailers, restaurants, and bars. Larger chains such as Waitrose and M&S Food are also within easy reach. The nearby Hillhead Underground Station offers quick links to the city centre, while the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park provide wonderful green spaces within walking distance. Medical professionals will appreciate the easy commute to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (approx. 2.7 miles), and road users benefit from access to the Clyde Tunnel, M8 motorway and the Clydeside Expressway.

Internally, the apartment offers stylish, well-balanced accommodation that will suit a range of buyers, from professional individuals and couples to downsizers seeking secure, low-maintenance living in a prime location. Traditional elements from the church building have been carefully retained and paired with modern finishes, resulting in a warm and characterful home filled with natural light.

The interior accommodation extends to: welcoming entrance hallway with storage; a bright and spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with space for a home working setup in one corner; a generously sized double bedroom with in-built wardrobes; and a contemporary shower room with tasteful tiling and minimalist white suite.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique, high-specification home within one of the West End’s landmark developments.
