Unlike most other self-catering holiday flats in Glasgow, 44 Edgehill is located in a traditional, red sandstone, tenement-style building. Everything about the property represents a lasting commitment to substantial elegance. Even the 'close' or stairwell of the building welcomes you with traditional Glasgow style: glazed tiles line the walls, and the wooden handrails are carved with original Arts-and-Crafts tulip motifs.
As you turn the key in the door of your new Glasgow home, you come into a spacious entrance hall, decorated with an original fine art print, and with original hardwood doors opening on to the other rooms of the flat.
The living room has high ceilings, tall windows for maximum light, and stylish, neutral decor throughout. There is a sofa and sofa bed for extra overnight guests, a flat-screen LCD TV, and a gas fireplace with Glasgow-style glazed tiles around the hearth. Above the mantel piece is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh print, framed in rich burled wood.
The dining-sized kitchen is a fabulous space for cooking, enjoying a meal, or just relaxing with a glass of wine. White Shaker-style units are enhanced by solid oak worktops and oak floors, as well as a new stainless steel oven and hob, a fridge freezer, microwave, electric kettle, and toaster. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the equipment you'll need for a gourmet feast or a light snack, from pots and pans to salad servers and tea towels. A washing machine and dishwasher are located in the utility room just to the side of the kitchen.
Finally, the bedroom is the ultimate space to unwind. A double-sized bed in whitewashed solid wood is covered with crisp white sheets and a warm woollen blanket to keep the chill away. You can keep in touch with friends on the broadband-equipped computer, or simply enjoy a quiet moment looking out of the window at the leafy streetscene below.
Grab an Egyptian cotton towel or two as you pass through a dressing area into the bathroom, where luxurious toiletries and a hot bath or shower will ease away the stresses of the day.
And when you're ready to leave 44 Edgehill, the vibrant buzz of Byres Road and the rest of the West End are only minutes away. Click on the 'see and do' link above to find out more about local activities and sites of interest.
