Cranworth Street, Hillhead, Glasgow

Located at the edge of Hillhead, just off Byres Road in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, this beautiful traditional apartment occupies a superb, central position. The property is a substantial two-bedroom tenement apartment with lovely traditional features, held within an attractive red sandstone tenement that overlooks the pretty Western Baths. The Baths building is illuminated at night, creating a superb foreground to the property’s gorgeous rooftop, cityscape view. Just along the road from Crabshakk Botanics and only a ‘hop, skip and a jump’ from Waitrose at the top of Byres Road, 11 Cranworth Street is hard to fault in terms of centrality. Despite this incredibly convenient setting—within walking distance of all amenities on Byres Road, the lovely hyper local selection along Vinicombe Street, and the cafés and restaurants near the Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road—Cranworth Street is a surprisingly peaceful address. The home for sale, being a top-floor example, is extremely quiet and enjoys wonderful levels of privacy – number 11 being much taller than the buildings opposite and therefore giving this charming apartment a very broad and open outlook.

The property is held within a beautiful red sandstone building that is maintained to a high standard by the appointed factor. The building has a secure entrance door with an intercom entry system, providing access into an instantly impressive, shared hall and stairway. This communal area is filled with period charm, featuring eye-catching blue tiling and dark hardwood balustrades. The property for sale is situated on the third level, accessed through the right-hand doorway.

Internally, this is a particularly spacious, full-sized two-bedroom apartment filled with lovely traditional features and offering extremely comfortable, well-appointed living space. It will appeal greatly to professionals looking to take full advantage of West End living, and to academics seeking proximity to the cloisters of Glasgow University. As you will see from the attached photographs, HD video and floorplan, this is an attractive two-bedroom home with high ceilings and large windows that fill the rooms with natural light. There are stripped and varnished original floors, traditional deep skirtings, bold facings and mouldings, elegant ceiling coving, and even the original cast iron bath tub, complete with drain column. All of these charming features are complemented by neutral décor and stylish modern fixtures and fittings, resulting in a home that feels both comfortable and full of character.

In brief, the accommodation extends to: entrance hall providing access to each of the principal apartments and two handy storage cupboards; bay-window living room with a large walk-in cupboard—an ideal compact home office space; two comfortable king-sized bedrooms positioned at opposite sides of the flat (perfect for two individuals sharing); dining-sized kitchen with appliances; and a beautiful main bathroom with shower over bath.
