Freehold

Description

A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a stunning penthouse within the beautifully converted Hillhead School, completed in 2016 by Barony Homes. This spectacular home offers private parking, a large, sun-filled terrace, and generous, light-drenched living spaces with breathtaking views across Glasgow's West End and beyond.

Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is just moments from the bustling shops, bars, and restaurants on Great Western Road and Byres Road, placing the very best of Glasgow West End living right on your doorstep. Purchased off-plan, this property has never before been available on the open market, making it a truly unique and highly desirable home.

Occupying the top (fourth) floor, the property opens into a broad and welcoming hallway, flooded with natural light from numerous windows. The hallway includes multiple useful storage cupboards, setting the tone for the thoughtfulness and practicality found throughout the home.

The open-plan lounge and kitchen is a showstopper. With double-height ceilings, huge skylight windows, and beautiful wooden flooring, the space feels expansive and luxurious. The high-spec kitchen is fitted with premium wall and floor units, integrated appliances, and even a wine fridge, while the layout provides ample room for both relaxing and formal dining. Double doors from the lounge open directly onto the extensive private terrace - perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening cocktail after a long day.

On this level there is also a well-proportioned double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, along with a breathtaking bathroom featuring a contemporary four-piece suite, standalone bath, separate shower, and mood lighting, creating a spa-like sanctuary within the home.

A broad staircase leads to the spectacular principal suite, which spans the full width of the property. This room is flooded with natural light and enjoys exceptional views across the West End. The suite features a luxurious en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobes, and access to a very special balcony over the living space, currently configured as a versatile home office, making it perfect for working from home.

Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, a secure entry system, lift access to all floors, and meticulously maintained communal areas. The property also comes with a highly valuable allocated private parking space.

Every detail of this home has been carefully considered, from the lighting and finishes to the practicalities of modern living, making it one of the most impressive penthouses of its kind in Glasgow. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate the scale, quality, and unique character of this extraordinary property.

Hillhead remains one of Glasgow's most prestigious and sought-after West End neighbourhoods. Renowned for its blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy, the area offers an eclectic mix of boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, lively cafes, and cultural attractions. Residents enjoy excellent public transport links to the city centre and beyond, alongside proximity to some of Glasgow's leading universities and parks. With its leafy streets, thriving community, and dynamic urban lifestyle, Hillhead continues to be highly desirable for professionals, families, and students seeking both convenience and character in equal measure.
