BEECH Grove Homes is set to release the first apartments from The Nightingale Collection – the carefully restored Nightingale buildings at the former Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow’s Battlefield area.
A trio of historic sandstone buildings have been reimagined as a limited development of luxury modern apartments. On 7 November, the first assortment of properties from the Nightingale Collection will be released for sale, offering a rare opportunity to secure a home that is said to blend ‘historic character with contemporary design’.
With an interest list that far exceeds the number of apartments available, the housebuilder is anticipating a lot of interest as it begins to release the first exclusive apartments.
The buildings have been restored to create a portfolio of 56 apartments, with 24 in the first release.
Alongside the refurbished cupolas, several of the larger apartments will also feature reinstated balconies, a hallmark of the old hospital. Many of the remaining apartments will feature ‘generous’ terraces, extending living spaces outdoors.
Inside, varying ceiling heights of up to 4.3 metres, curved open-plan living areas, and reinstated period detailing are designed to create a sense of grandeur.
Isabella Ferguson, director of sales & marketing for Beech Grove Homes, said, “This is a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Glasgow’s living history. The Nightingale buildings aren’t in fact listed, and we know many developers had a different vision for the site that didn’t include these beautiful buildings, but we have treated them as such and have painstakingly brought them back from ruin. They are now arguably amongst the most unique and coveted properties in the city.
“While the exterior façades of these iconic sandstone buildings have been carefully preserved, the interiors are where the transformation comes to life. Each apartment is completely unique, designed to combine heritage and character with uncompromising modern luxury.”
