SITUATED just off Glasgow’s Byres Road and with views down iconic Ashton Lane, The Ashton Apartments in Great George Lane is a highly sought-after Hillhead development within one of the city’s most cosmopolitan areas.
For buyers with high aspirations, the penthouse newly on the market has been extensively upgraded and is on a par with the finest in the city, complete with a 600 sq ft roof terrace, secure entry system, and lift access. Formed over the fourth and fifth levels, the internal accommodation comprises curved reception hall (wood flooring, storage off), three spacious double bedrooms (triple aspect principal bedroom with fitted wardrobe and visually striking, fully tiled en suite incorporating walk-in shower, vanity basin and built-in storage).
Upstairs to take full advantage of the height and views over the city, is a superb 22ft dual aspect living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a newly fitted contemporary dining kitchen with high-end stone worktops, tiled flooring, large central island, and a full quota of integrated appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, fan oven, microwave oven, warming drawer, steam oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, wine fridge – and bi-fold doors to the rooftop garden. There is also a cleverly concealed utility space, and cloakroom.
But the real star of this show is the incredible 50ft roof terrace, which provides spectacular views down Ashton Lane – taking in all the West End’s most popular landmarks – and the city beyond. The present owners have also upgraded the terrace, which now has easy care low maintenance Astro turf, well stocked raised planters, wrap-round bench seating, external lighting, and plenty of space for dining furniture.
In addition, residents’ on-street permit parking can be obtained from Glasgow City Council – although a car is not a necessity as the penthouse is only a short walk from shops, cafes, supermarkets, bars, Grosvenor Cinema, and the recently refurbished Hillhead underground, the latter a quick and easy way to get around the city.
Offers over £595,000 are invited by Corum’s West End 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
