Location
The subjects are situated in Hillhead, on the south
side of Great George Street within the heart of
Glasgow’s popular and vibrant West End. Whilst

Accommodation
The property is located to the south of Great
George Street and Lilybank Terrace runs adjacent
at the eastern boundary. The subjects comprise
an imposing Category ‘B’ Listed Building dating
from 1894, designed in a gothic style by renowned
Glasgow Architect, James Miller. The property,
for many years, provided dining hall, gym and
playground facilities for the former Laurel Bank/
Hutchesons School at Lilybank Terrace, prior to its
conversion to luxury flats.
The building is constructed of solid sandstone
with a pitched slated roof. The main pedestrian
access to the property is from Great George
Street and there is also vehicular access to an
extensive tarmacadamed area which was utilised
as a playground. There is an area of undeveloped
open ground to the rear/south of the site.
The total area in our clients’ ownership extends to
0.27 ha (0.67 acre) as shown outlined red on the
attached Ordnance Survey extract.
