1 bedroom apartment

A Rare Blend of Heritage and Modern Living in the Heart of the West End

Located in one of Glasgow’s most prestigious Conservation Areas, this exceptional one-bedroom apartment forms part of the award-winning Lilybank Church conversion. Positioned just moments from Byres Road and Hillhead Underground station, it offers a refined and peaceful retreat within the vibrant heart of the West End.

Originally designed in 1894 by renowned architect James Miller, the former church has been carefully transformed into a collection of luxury residences. The building retains its remarkable architectural character, with stained glass windows, ornate wood carvings and exposed red sandstone providing a striking backdrop to modern living. The communal areas are equally impressive, offering lift access, a secure video entry system and a strong sense of arrival.

Set on an elevated position on Great George Street, the apartment benefits from easy access to the lively atmosphere of Ashton Lane, the University of Glasgow and the area’s wealth of bars, restaurants and independent shops. This is a home that blends peaceful surroundings with a rich cultural scene, creating a lifestyle that is both inspiring and convenient.

Inside, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space enjoys abundant natural light, which highlights original stone features and soaring ceilings. The Leicht kitchen, designed by Kitchens International, features matte grey cabinetry, Siemens integrated appliances and a sleek peninsula ideal for casual dining or entertaining.

The split-level layout adds a sense of drama and space, with the mezzanine bedroom offering privacy without losing the apartment’s open, airy feel. A glass balustrade frames the staircase and opens up views of the impressive arched window. The bedroom includes mirrored wardrobes and beautifully retained features such as carved archways and exposed red sandstone, adding texture and character.

The shower room is finished to a high standard, with floor-to-ceiling Porcelanosa marble-effect tiling, a rainfall shower, heated towel rail, vanity storage and a heated mirror. Additional features include underfloor heating, double glazing throughout and an allocated parking space within a secure gated car park.

This home is ideally suited to a professional seeking stylish surroundings with excellent connectivity, a buyer looking to downsize without compromising on character, or anyone who appreciates the rare blend of architectural heritage and modern comfort. Lilybank Church was named Best UK Development at the Property Investors Awards in 2018, and this apartment stands as a perfect example of what makes this address so special.

Hillhead, Glasgow – The Beating Heart of the West End

At the heart of Glasgow’s ever-popular West End, Hillhead has remained one of the city’s most in-demand neighbourhoods for decades. Framed by the striking Gothic architecture of the University of Glasgow, the area offers a unique blend of historic charm and vibrant modern living.

Byres Road, the main thoroughfare, is lined with an eclectic mix of independent shops, artisan cafés, cool delis and welcoming bars. Just off it lies the cobbled and characterful Ashton Lane, a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike, home to a boutique cinema, cosy pubs and atmospheric restaurants.

The West End is often considered Glasgow’s most beloved quarter. It offers an inspiring mix of culture, green space and creativity, while maintaining a relaxed and walkable pace of life. Hillhead perfectly captures that spirit, offering leafy streets, stunning architecture and proximity to Kelvingrove Park, all within easy reach.

Transport connections here are excellent. The area is served by the Subway, multiple bus routes and an abundance of taxis, providing quick and easy access to Glasgow’s city centre. The Hydro and the Scottish Event Campus (formerly the SECC) are within walking distance, ideal for concerts, exhibitions and conferences. For travel further afield, Glasgow Central Station offers direct services to London and other major cities, while the international airport is only a short drive away.

Day-to-day convenience is well covered. Local supermarkets include M&S Simply Food, Tesco Metro and Waitrose, with larger options like Sainsbury’s and Morrisons available at Crow Road Retail Park, just ten minutes away by car.

Fitness enthusiasts will feel at home too, with local gyms such as The Gym on Vinicombe Street, Anytime Fitness and options along Dumbarton Road catering to all routines and preferences.
