Location

The property is located on the north side of Gibson Street close to its junction with Otago Street, within the Hillhead area of Glasgow's west end.

Gibson Street is located in the vibrant Hillhead district of Glasgow’s West End, nestled between the bustling areas of Kelvinbridge and Byres Road. This attractive residential and commercial street lies just west of the River Kelvin and is in close proximity to the University of Glasgow campus. The surrounding neighbourhood is one of Glasgow’s most desirable and cosmopolitan locations, known for its Victorian architecture, independent shops, cafés, and strong cultural scene.

The area benefits from a large and diverse catchment population, heavily influenced by the significant student and academic community associated with the University of Glasgow, alongside young professionals and families. This creates a dynamic, high-footfall environment with strong demand for local services and amenities. Excellent transport links further enhance its accessibility, with Hillhead Subway Station just a short walk away, frequent bus services along Great Western Road and Byres Road, and easy access to the city centre via the Glasgow Subway’s Inner and Outer Circles, as well as nearby rail connections.
