An opportunity has arisen for a student, ideally a fellow PhD candidate or postgraduate, to rent a lovely, premium double bedroom within an exceptionally large, bright, and tastefully refurbished two-bedroom duplex apartment.
Positioned at the very top of Byres Road directly above Waitrose, the apartment sits right in the beating heart of Glasgow's vibrant West End. The building features excellent convenience, including a private resident lift that takes you straight down to street level for immediate access to the culture, cafes, boutique shops, and incredible restaurants on your doorstep, with Glasgow’s famous Botanic Gardens located just 100 meters away.
You will be sharing this spacious home with just one other tenant, a very tidy and respectful male PhD student who keeps the apartment in immaculate condition. The layout is split across two expansive levels, creating a wonderful sense of space. The ground floor consists of a generous living and dining room flooded with natural light through large picture windows overlooking Byres Road, alongside a modern fitted kitchen. The lower level also boasts fantastic storage with substantial cupboard space in both the living area and the entrance hallway.
The available bedroom is situated on the upper floor, providing a large, bright, and highly flexible private space with lovely elevated views onto Byres Road. Designed with academic life in mind, the room features a large integrated double wardrobe with sliding mirrored doors and a dedicated desk setup, making it an ideal, peaceful spot for studying and relaxing.
The tiled bathroom, complete with an electric shower, is also located on this upper floor, which features an additional three storage cupboards to easily accommodate all of your extra belongings.
The location offers an unparalleled commute for students, providing an enjoyable ten-minute walk to the University of Glasgow campus. Furthermore, it is situated directly across from Hillhead underground station, which is just a two-minute walk away. This provides an effortless ten-minute commute straight into Glasgow City Centre, making the apartment highly convenient for students attending Strathclyde University or those looking to enjoy the full range of city centre facilities.
The apartment is strictly for a two-person occupancy to maintain its relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and please note that pets are not allowed. The room is available from 30 September 2026 at a rent of £785 per month, with a matching security deposit of £785 required to be paid in advance. Please note that while the monthly rent includes high-speed Wi-Fi, the benefit of your own dedicated, secure car parking space on site, it excludes electricity costs, which will be shared equally between the other tenant.
We are currently welcoming initial expressions of interest, and anyone who is interested should get in touch ASAP. Viewings (either in-person or virtual) will take place by mid-August 2026. If you would like to be considered, please get back to me with a brief introduction about yourself, your studies, and your lifestyle to arrange a future viewing time.
