Property Description
A substantial and beautifully presented three-bedroom, five-apartment first-floor tenement apartment located in one of the most desirable addresses of Hillhead, right at the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant West End.
Occupying a peaceful yet highly central position, minutes from both Byres Road and the University of Glasgow, this impressive home combines elegant period architecture with a comfortable internal finish—making it an ideal base for professional couples, young families, and anyone who wishes to reside within seconds walk of Glasgow University.
Cecil Street is a quiet residential address lined with handsome sandstone tenements and townhouses, just 0.2 miles from the top of Byres Road. This much-loved area is known for its lovely mix of independent cafés, restaurants, and specialist retailers, as well as the convenience of larger supermarkets and excellent public transport links via Hillhead Subway Station.
Despite its central location, Hillhead offers a calm and leafy environment, with access to nearby green spaces such as the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park. The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) is approximately 2.8 miles from the door, making this a particularly attractive proposition for medical professionals. Commuters are also well served by proximity to the Clydeside Expressway, Clyde Tunnel, and M8 motorway.
The flat is held within a well-maintained blonde sandstone building and is accessed via a secure entrance door that leads into a well kept residents’ hallway. Internally, this property is a superb example of a traditional West End tenement, offering grand proportions, ornate original features, and the charm of restored timber floors. The property’s elevated first-floor position also provides lovely outlooks, enhanced privacy, and excellent natural light throughout the day, especially in the afternoon.
In terms of accommodation, the flat extends to: entrance vestibule with storm doors, a welcoming L-shaped reception hallway, and two stunning public rooms to the front of the building—the formal lounge and a secondary sitting room or home office, both with exceptional original cornicework. The bay-windowed lounge is particularly impressive, flooded with light and centred around a beautiful fireplace.
There are three double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom that benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room. To the rear of the property, an attractive and well-appointed dining kitchen offers a generous range of units, fitted appliances, and ample space for a dining table—ideal for entertaining. A contemporary family bathroom completes the internal accommodation, featuring a white three-piece suite and overhead shower.
The home is further enhanced by gas central heating, restored and polished wooden flooring, and access to a lovely shared residents’ garden at the rear.
This is a truly outstanding West End flat, combining timeless architectural features with modern upgrades and unbeatable proximity to everything the West End has to offer.
