151 Wilton Street, North Kelvinside, G20

Thirty years is a long time to live somewhere, and perhaps one of the best endorsements you can give a home.

The current owner of Flat 2, 151 Wilton Street has lived here for exactly that, and it is easy to understand why. Set within a handsome traditional building in North Kelvinside, the apartment occupies an elevated ground-floor position, raised and set back from the street, with tall windows and a surprisingly open outlook.

The building itself has also benefited from significant recent investment, with the roof entirely renewed in 2025, providing valuable peace of mind for the next owner.

Inside, the apartment is in very good condition and has a layout that works particularly well. The main living space sits to the front and combines the kitchen, dining and sitting areas into one large, bright room. Two tall windows bring in plenty of natural light and, because of the elevated position of the building, there is a much greater sense of openness and privacy than you might expect from a ground-floor apartment.

The kitchen has been neatly incorporated into the room rather than feeling separate from it, with extensive cabinetry, timber worktops and a breakfast bar connecting the two spaces. There is still plenty of room for a dining table and a substantial seating area, making this a sociable room and very much the heart of the apartment.

There are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom positioned peacefully to the rear and looking into mature greenery. The second bedroom provides useful flexibility for guests, children or working from home, while the bathroom is finished in a clean, contemporary style.

The apartment has been carefully maintained during the owner’s time here. Alongside the complete rewiring and replacement bathroom around 15 years ago, sash window works have been carried out over the years, a new Worcester boiler has recently been installed and the apartment was fully redecorated in April this year.

Outside, there is a generous shared garden to the rear with mature planting, lawn and areas for sitting outside, while the traditional building and its elevated position give the property a handsome presence from Wilton Street.

North Kelvinside has long been one of those parts of the West End that manages to feel residential without feeling removed. From here, the cafés, restaurants and independent shops around Queen Margaret Drive are close at hand, along with the Botanic Gardens and the wider West End.

When we asked the owner what she had loved most about living here, her answer was simple: the light, the open vista and the layout. After 30 years, that probably tells you more about the apartment than we can.
