Set in a superb central location within the heart of the West End, this elegant two-bedroom first-floor conversion on Cecil Street, Hillhead offers bright, beautifully appointed accommodation and excellent levels of quietude. One of the key selling points is the property’s ideal position: within easy walking distance of numerous amenities, most notably the University of Glasgow’s Gilmorehill campus, the beautiful Glasgow Botanic Gardens and the ever-growing selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques and amenities stretching along Great Western Road between the top of Byres Road and Kelvinbridge. As such, this extremely central yet tucked-away position will appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers including academics, lucky students and young professionals who wish to take full advantage of everything that is loved about the West End.

Cecil Street is a charming address, situated just off the top of Great George Street in Hillhead. This prime location places the property within walking distance of all the amenities on Byres Road and the “Botanics” area along Great Western Road. Within minutes of leaving the property you can access everything from supermarkets, shops and boutiques to public transport links, cafés and bars. The West End offers a variety of leisure facilities, including cinema, racquet clubs, the Western Baths Club and The Gym Group on Vinicombe Street.

Hillhead is also ideally positioned for easy access to inner-city green spaces, including the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park, both offering extensive parkland to be enjoyed year-round. Parking is via the local permit scheme (zone W3), with permits available from the local council.
The home for sale is set within an attractive, elevated sandstone townhouse painted in a period-correct ‘Gardenia’ colour, giving the frontage a bright, eye-catching appearance with sash and casement windows. Situated at the preferred first-floor level, this elegant drawing-room conversion is instantly identifiable by its bay window with tall, glazed elements that give glimpses of superb inner ceiling height and volume of accommodation. Access to the building is via a secure entrance door with buzzer intercom system. The communal hall and stairway are in good order with neat décor, good lighting and a carpeted stairway that leads off to the upper levels. The subject property is accessed from the first landing and is the only dwelling on the level of number 18.

As you will see from the attached photographs, HD video and floorplan, this is an attractive, well-appointed two-bedroom conversion which has been improved and maintained to a high standard by the current owner. The living space is bright, has a stylish, contemporary feel throughout and is ready for immediate enjoyment. In 2021 the kitchen was fully remodelled and the apartment benefitted from new wooden flooring and carpets throughout, giving a cohesive and high-quality finish.
