Property Description

Positioned upon the first floor of an iconic Grade ‘C’ listed former school building, this exceptional two-bedroom duplex conversion offers striking, light-filled accommodation, a private parking space and an enclosed, covered sun terrace, all set against a remarkable panoramic backdrop over Glasgow.

The property forms part of an award-winning redevelopment of the former school, originally constructed in 1875 and opened in 1884, which was thoughtfully converted in 2011 into a collection of distinctive luxury apartments. The architect-led project, overseen by Grant Murray, was recognised with multiple awards and carried out with great sensitivity to the building’s rich heritage. As a result, the development retains a wealth of original character, most notably within the breathtaking communal atrium, where a grand suspended staircase creates an immediate sense of drama and arrival.

Externally, the building is particularly impressive, with attractive blonde sandstone elevations, large window formations and ornate wrought iron fencing enclosing the front boundary. Secure electric gates provide access to a private residents’ car park to the rear, while the development further benefits from beautifully maintained communal areas including sheltered courtyards and landscaped garden grounds.

The apartment itself occupies a first-floor position within this elevated building and, as such, enjoys some of the finest views available across Glasgow and beyond. The attached photographs, HD video and floorplan provide an indication of the overall size and specification; however, viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, natural light and remarkable outlooks on offer.

Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and highly individual, enhanced by impressive architectural features and a wonderful sense of volume. A welcoming reception hall leads to a spectacular open plan living, dining and kitchen space — undoubtedly the heart of the home — featuring a striking double-height vaulted ceiling and a series of large windows which flood the interior with natural light.

French doors open directly onto the property’s covered private sun terrace, a superb extension of the living space which can be enjoyed throughout the year. Recently enhanced with beautiful bespoke planters and a stunning timber hanging swing chair, this unique outdoor area provides an idyllic setting for informal dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while taking in views over the internal winter gardens and across the West End towards the city centre.

The accommodation on the entrance level is completed by a well-proportioned double bedroom. A striking spiral staircase rises to the upper level, where the principal bedroom offers generous proportions along with integrated wardrobe space. The main bathroom is also located on this level and is fitted with a white three-piece suite including a shower over the bath.

Further benefits include a private parking space, secure entry system and access to the beautifully maintained communal grounds.

Altogether, this is a unique and highly desirable West End home, combining historic character, award-winning design and spectacular contemporary living space, all set within one of a distinctive residential development.
