About Strathclyde House

Strathclyde House is a 56-apartment Christian community in Skelmorlie. Spread across three floors, each apartment has its own front door off the communal hallways. Each individual apartment consists of a living area, kitchenette and toilet. There are both one-bed and two-bed apartments, all of which come with a fridge-freezer.

Strathclyde House has a big lounge which is used for activities throughout the week, a laundrette, a library, and guest rooms for visiting friends and family. Strathclyde House has on-site parking available for residents and a lovely garden area which is especially well used during the summer months.

The building is fully accessible with ramps across the house and three lifts.

Our community

There are activities throughout the week so that those living at Strathclyde House have plenty of opportunities to socialise and make friendships with fellowship evenings, carpet bowls, Bible studies and games evenings happening on a regular basis.

The management team at Strathclyde House is in the building between the hours of 9am and 4pm. Members of the team will always be happy to assist where possible with any questions and queries you might have. Additionally, we have an onsite Maintenance Officer who is able to assist with small maintenance tasks, and cleaners and gardeners attend the communal areas and grounds so that Strathclyde House always looks at its best.

A poet for most of her life, she finds inspiration in friendship, faith and the shared experience of growing older.
