Description

Set within a handsome blonde sandstone-faced building in the extremely desirable West End district of Hillhead, this two-bedroom main door ground floor apartment offers a superb blend of modern specification and traditional character. Completed in 2009, the development was thoughtfully designed to mirror the scale and appearance of the surrounding tenements, resulting in an attractive and sympathetic addition to this sought-after address.

Occupying an enviable central yet peaceful position just off Byres Road and adjacent to The University of Glasgow, the property enjoys immediate access to an outstanding selection of local amenities. Within a few minutes’ walk, you can reach a wide variety of cafés, restaurants, bars, boutiques, and supermarkets, along with excellent public transport links including Hillhead Underground station, providing swift access to Glasgow City Centre. This location is particularly well suited to professionals, academics, and students alike.

The apartment for sale is set well back from Great George Street and is tucked behind mature garden grounds, which provide a high degree of privacy and screening without compromising the natural light that pours into the interior. The south-facing front terrace is a real highlight, acting as a suntrap and offering a perfect space for enjoying a coffee or relaxing with a book. Whilst you sit here on a summer’s afternoon – it could be all too easy to forget that you are right in the middle of the West End – surrounded by buzz, culture and life.

Accessed via its own private main door, with substantial outer storm doors and a glazed inner door, the property opens into a welcoming reception hall. Internally, the apartment is presented in superb order, having been meticulously maintained by the current owners. The overall standard of finish is extremely high, meaning the property is ready to be moved into and enjoyed immediately.

As the photographs and video demonstrate, the interior is finished in bright, neutral tones, complemented by attractive fitted floor coverings including engineered oak flooring, matching internal doors (some with glazed elements), and a carefully selected range of fixtures and fittings that combine to create an elegant and refined living environment.

In brief, the accommodation extends to: a welcoming entrance hall, a beautiful bay window living room with ample space for dining by the window, bespoke shelving, and an ornamental fireplace. French doors open fully to connect the living space with the kitchen, enhancing the sense of flow and openness.

The kitchen itself is particularly stylish, featuring elegant cream-coloured gloss cabinetry, stone-effect porcelain floor tiling, and a full complement of integrated appliances including dishwasher, washing machine, fan-assisted oven, gas hob, and integrated fridge freezer. A separate door from the kitchen provides access to the rear of the building. The principal bedroom is of comfortable proportions, positioned to the back, and easily accommodates a king-sized bed. It benefits from in-built mirror-fronted wardrobes and a well-appointed en-suite shower room with contemporary tiling and underfloor heating, creating a luxurious and relaxing private space. Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double, also with fitted wardrobe space, and offers flexibility for use as a guest room or home office if required. The main bathroom has elegant neutrally coloured contemporary tiling and contrasting wood effect finishes on the bath panel and wall mounted vanity unit, all finished off with a large chrome towel rail and circular LED mirror.

There is a built-in music system throughout the property with upgraded speaker system, powered and amplified by Sonos.

Given the superb positioning, main door access, and beautiful interior specification, early viewing is highly recommended.
