Hill Street, Garnethill, Glasgow

Perched two floors above Hill Street within the historic Randolph Terrace, this two bedroom apartment commands one of the finest outlooks in Garnethill, where the spires of Park area crown the skyline.

The apartment is located within a is a Category B listed Victorian mid terrace dating from around 1850, built in handsome blonde sandstone and occupying a quiet position at the end of a cul de sac within the Garnethill Conservation Area. The roof was completely replaced in 2012 and residents share well maintained communal gardens to the rear.

The living room is the very core of the home. Soaring ceilings and tall sash windows give the room real presence, and its dual aspect opens onto a sweeping outlook to the south west, over Charing Cross and the rooftops of the West End to the hills that line the horizon. From the second floor the view is enjoyed at its fullest, shifting with the light through the day and the seasons. Secondary glazing panels have been fitted to the windows for added comfort, there is ample space for both lounge and dining furniture, and pale wood effect flooring runs throughout much of the apartment.

The separate dining kitchen has a unique shape which lends itself naturally to a dining or breakfast table. It is fitted with wood effect wall and base units, dark speckled worktops, a black metro tiled splashback and a stainless steel sink and drainer, with space for freestanding appliances and a useful pantry cupboard. Well kept by the current owner, it offers a buyer the chance to update in time and put their own stamp on the room.

The principal bedroom is nicely sized comfortable double. The second bedroom was divided with a partition wall some years ago to create additional sleeping space for a growing family, with each section retaining its own sash window. It now works superbly as a dressing room, walk in wardrobe or home office, and could easily be reverted to a large second bedroom if preferred. The shower room is finished with a white suite, quadrant shower enclosure, marble effect wall tiling and black sparkle floor tiles, and there is further storage off the hallway.
