VOTED Best UK Development in 2018, the former late 19th Century gothic-style Lilybank Church in Hillhead raised the bar for church conversions and its luxurious apartments were quickly snapped up as a result.
Now a unique two-bedroomed duplex apartment newly on the market marks the first re-sale within this iconic B-listed red sandstone building - and is attracting widespread attention owing to its mix of visually striking ecclesiastical features and luxurious high-specification finish.
Occupying an elevated position on Great George Street, only a short walk from Byres Road, the internal accommodation comprises entrance hallway, magnificent 20ft open plan living/ dining/kitchen - the latter designed by Kitchens International incorporating high-end German-made wall and floor units, integrated appliances (including a wine fridge) and a breakfast bar for casual dining - and contemporary shower room with white three-piece suite.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and en-suites – master en suite a bathroom with bathtub and separate shower, while the second bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Other notable features include good storage, security-controlled entrance, and well-maintained communal areas displaying awesome refurbished original features that make this such a distinctive conversion. The property also comes with one allocated parking space in the residents’ secure gated parking area.
Located in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, trendy bars, cafes, shops, restaurants, transport links, and some of the city’s most popular attractions, are all virtually on the doorstep. Offers over £439,000 are sought by Vanilla Square’s Glasgow office.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
