Garnethill Street, Garnethill, Glasgow

A truly exceptional second floor studio apartment features two dedicated sleeping spaces, and forms part of the former School Board of Glasgow building within the heart of Garnethill. Extending to over one thousand square feet, this utterly distinctive apartment offers a dramatic combination of scale, volume, architectural character and bold contemporary styling, all arranged across a wonderfully individual layout.

The building makes a remarkable first impression, with a handsome blonde sandstone exterior, grand proportions, decorative stone detailing enjoying an elevated corner position in a very quiet area. The apartment is even more impressive, with the accommodation centred around a fabulous main living space of rare scale and atmosphere. This room is defined by a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed dark timber beams, striking black herringbone flooring and a series of carefully considered design details which create a confident, stylish and highly memorable space.

The lounge is magnificent, extending to over twenty five feet in length and offering excellent flexibility for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining. There is ample room for substantial furniture, while the towering roofline, sculptural beams and rich dark flooring give the room a wonderful sense of depth and character. The current arrangement also demonstrates the versatility of the space, with a dedicated work area positioned naturally to one side.

Two archways lead us through to the dining kitchen, which is generous is size, and thanks to the soaring ceilings, is open and sociable. While beautifully finished, it provides an impressive setting for cooking, dining and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted in a sleek contemporary style with dark cabinetry, integrated appliances, a large central island with hob and breakfast bar seating, black work surfaces, a black sink and tap, and a striking timber acoustic panelled feature wall.

The sleeping areas are positioned on a slightly raised level accessed via a stairway, the principal of which is a superb double space with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and skylight windows. The second sleeping space offers excellent flexibility, with fitted wardrobe storage and scope to be used as a guest sleeping area, dedicated dressing area or work from home space.

The shower room has been finished in a bold, boutique style, with dark herringbone tiling, black sanitary ware, a walk in shower enclosure, statement lighting, wall mounted fittings, a circular mirror and attractive slatted wall detailing; the result evokes a tremendous sense of drama and perfectly complements the overall style of the apartment.

Garnethill is a quiet and predominantly residential district, increasingly recognised for its artistic, architectural and bohemian character. The area lies only a few minutes’ walk from Sauchiehall Street’s Avenue, which has undergone a significant transformation, and is exceptionally well placed for transport links via Charing Cross, St George’s Cross and Cowcaddens stations. The City Centre, Merchant City, International Financial Services District, Finnieston and the West End are all within easy reach, offering an outstanding selection of amenities including independent cafés, boutique shopping, wine bars and acclaimed restaurants. Garnethill Street is also ideally positioned for access to several leading educational institutions, including The Glasgow School of Art, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University, as well as St Aloysius’ College.

This is a genuinely special home which offers an extraordinary sense of space, character and design quality in one of Glasgow’s most architecturally interesting city districts. The combination of its grand former institutional setting, individuality, and immaculate condition render it a compelling consideration for professionals, creatives, students, and those seeking an exceptional city base with real artistic nature.
