Summary:
Set on a quiet street within an elegant sandstone building. Our apartment is a beautiful 2 bedroom that brings together traditional and modern, with exceptionally tall ceilings, crisp interiors, perfect lighting and characterful features. Stylish yet comfortable, designed with the utmost attention to detail. Minutes away from Botanic Gardens, Great Western Road, Byres Road and The University of Glasgow. Surrounded by ample restaurants, bars, theatre and shopping.
The Space:
We have recently renovated the entire apartment – bringing it back to the full of life, character and elegance you would expect in the West End.
Located on one of the best streets in the West End, you are stone’s throw away from Botanic Gardens, Great Western Road, Byres Road, etc. Most of all, you are at the center of culinary gems. This area is packed with some of the best restaurants in the city.
The property is set to a spacious open plan setting with exceptionally high ceilings and lots of natural light. A very comfortable sofa for those who would like a quite night in to enjoy the smart TV that comes with Netflix. Fully fitted modern kitchen with a 6 people dining table. High-speed WIFI throughout the property. Nespresso Coffee Machine and French Press. Vintage Bluetooth Speaker. Kitchen fully equipped with Swedish home appliances (Cooker, Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher, Fridge/Freezer), Microwave, Toaster. The property has a powerful central heating system that warms all the rooms up very quickly. Although our home is modern and minimalistic, it’s set within a building that’s over 150 years old, so please expect some floorboard creaks and noises that come with a building of this character.

Bedroom 2: A Soothing Navy bedroom that also comes with a Kingsize bed, a desk, and a huge fitted wardrobe.

The Neighborhood:
The apartment is situated in the heart of the West End and is minutes walk to the closest shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. Byres road is a few minutes walk and is a great hub for all things West-end. If you fancy some of Glasgow's best food and drink you are spoiled for choice as the famous Ashton Lane is only 5-10 minutes walk away. Have some top class food at Ubiquitous Chip or sample street-food style ramen at Ramen Dayo then wash it all down with a Guiness at Jinty McGinty's or a craft beer at the Innis and Gun bar. There is even a cinema located within the lane so there is definitely something for everyone.
Be sure to visit the closeby Kelvingrove Park and Botanical Gardens if you are blessed with good weather. Both park areas boast plenty of space for picnics, lovely walking paths and a green escape from the city's hustle and bustle. With views of the River Kelvin and Glasgow University's stunning ancient campus it is also a great spot for those looking to add a few instagram-worthy snaps to their collection too.
Getting Around:
The apartment is very close to two subway stations, Kelvinbridge and Hillhead, approx a 5-minute walk to Hillhead and 10 mins to Kelvinbrige. Numerous buses run on both Byres Road and Great Western Road. Uber is also a very handy way to get around the city with a cab cost less than £10 to the city centre.
