** NEW to Market - Available to View Now ** A highly desirable larger Modern “Luxury Style” Detached Villa within favoured Bryant Built Residential Development, situated in Deaconsbank adjacent to Newton Mearns. This superb family home has been enhanced further by its present owners with the conversion of the former double integrated garage which now forms a semi-open plan dining & family room with a useful separate study off. Bryant Homes completed this particular property circa 1999, we understand this was one of only 2 “Ailsa” Style Homes built which were believed to be the largest style at that time – with the garage conversion completed the accommodation extends to 8 Main Apartments (plus the useful small study/workroom), over 2 levels.
Deaconsbank is adjacent to Newton Mearns, connected by Deaconsbank Road, convenient for access across the south side with its wide arrange of shopping/amenities whilst the popular Mearns Cross & Silverburn Shopping Centres are easily accessible by car. The M77 is a short car journey providing convenient city centre access by car or one can use the train via the station a short distance away. A variety of local parks & golf courses are also nearby. No 7 Deaconsbank Gardens benefits from being within the Glasgow Boundaries, outwith East Renfrewshire where comparable properties would likely be assessed in a higher council tax band due to their higher purchase price. The school catchment will be Glasgow however at present if a family already has children attending East Renfrewshire Schools then they would continue doing so (potential buyers are advised to check latest school entry requirements direct with their desired school).
The flexible accommodation comprises on ground floor – reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, lounge with multi-fuel fire being a warm focal point when loaded with crackling logs, the dining & family rooms are semi-open plan with a separate small study/workroom off, the kitchen features a useful utility room adjacent, an informal living room/office with patio doors is available as a 4th public room or 5th bedroom if required. On the upper level, the “master” bedroom (No 1) features a stylish re-fitted en-suite, 3 further bedrooms are provided served by the family bathroom located off the upper hallway.
The property features both gas central heating & double glazing. Attic & internal storage/wardrobes are available. EPC – C. Private gardens are situated to the front & rear whilst the monobloc driveway to the front provides private parking.
In our view, a rare opportunity to acquire a particularly desirable Bryant Homes Detached Villa which can genuinely accommodate a growing family and indeed provide space for “home-working” if required. .

*NEW to Market - Available to View Now* Doonvale Drive, Alloway – An excellent opportunity to acquire a desirable Modern Detached Villa by well regarded Stewart Milne Homes. This particular style “The Thorntonhall” featuring ideal family accommodation of 7/8 Main Apartments, noting that this is the original specification without the integral double garage having been converted – rather than apparently similar size homes which have sacrificed the double garage to extend their accommodation. The property enjoys an attractive setting within favoured residential development of mixed style modern family/executive homes on the outskirts of Ayr, itself on the South West Coast of Scotland.
Well proportioned apartments are featured over 2 levels, easily accommodating a growing family. Larger style Detached Villas are particularly popular with local buyers looking to upsize, with Glasgow buyers who continue to re-locate from city to the coast/seaside for a more relaxed lifestyle/work balance, whilst clients re-locating from England to Scotland remain strong contenders for larger modern luxury style homes. The well proportioned apartments are laid out over 2 levels, offering flexibility as required – normally utilised as 2/3 Public & 5 Bedrooms. If required, the integral double garage also allows further expansion within the footprint of the existing property (less expensive than add-on accommodation) – subject to required planning permission etc.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable & adaptable family home, comprising on the ground floor, the reception hall with useful “downstairs” wc off, bay windowed lounge to the front with a separate dining room to the rear featuring connecting “French style” doors, also to the rear a semi open-plan style integrated kitchen/dining/breakfasting room (patio doors from here onto private rear gardens) with a useful separate utility room (access from here to the integral double garage).
All the bedrooms, easily accommodating a growing family, are featured on the upper level with a staircase from the reception hall leading to the upper hallway – the master bedroom (No 5) to the front with en-suite whilst bedroom No 1 (presently a large games room) is a large bedroom which could easily be utilised as a childrens living/games room or teenager’s bedroom/living room, 3 further bedrooms are located to the rear (Nos 2, 3 & 4) with bedroom No 2 featuring an en-suite. The main bathroom is also situated on the upper level.
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. Private gardens are featured to the front & rear, neatly presented/landscaped with the rear fenced for privacy providing a safe/enclosed child-friendly play area or outdoor space in which to relax on better weather days. The private driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles whilst also leading to a much-valued integral double garage which provides secure parking/storage. A wonderful Summer House is located within the rear garden allowing one to enjoy sheltered outdoor time, either to relax or entertain.
In our view… of huge appeal to those clients seeking a larger Modern Luxury Style Detached Home with the flexibility to accommodate an existing/growing family or provide more space in which to entertain/enjoy, support homeworking etc.
To discuss your interest in No 51 Doonvale Drive please contact Graeme Lumsden, our Director/Valuer, who is handling this particular sale – 01292 283606 or gpl@blackhay.co.uk Internal Viewing is invited by contacting BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS on 01292 283606.

This property has served its current owners as a comfortable family home with the twin level accommodation layout offering considerable flexibility – currently utilised as 3 Public/4 Bedrooms however it could revert to 2 Public/5 Bedrooms if required.
Typical modern/new build homes are often located within tightly packed residential developments which can often feel claustrophobic due to the lack of amenity or garden space. Bruach House nestles within attractive larger landscaped private gardens (noting the driveway has a right of access for the owner of the field & adjacent property), sloping down from the main roadway to the level area surrounding the property. The gardens will attract those wishing to potter or indeed relax whilst a family buyer will enjoy the outdoor area which children can enjoy. The river to the rear is on a lower level and is screened by hedging/mature trees etc.
In particular, the accommodation on the ground floor comprises, a striking reception hall …a fabulous feature when welcoming guests – the central stair rising to a very spacious upper hallway which offers an open “snug” area whilst also leading to the upper bedroom apartments, the most appealing lounge is accessed through twin doors from the reception hall, a useful family room (alt' 5th bedroom) is on the opposite side of the hallway with an en-suite bedroom (No 1) located adjacent, a stylish breakfasting/dining kitchen is very well appointed with access from here to a charming larger conservatory which can fairly be referred to/used as another public room, a utility room is also provided together with a useful downstairs wc.
The eye-catching staircase leads to the upper hallway/apartments which comprise – 3 further bedrooms (Nos 2, 3, & 4) with No 3 featuring an en-suite, whilst a useful additional room serves as an informal study (open stair from here to the attic). The family bathroom is situated off the upper hallway.
During their period of ownership the current owners have deliberately selected “eco” features when upgrading certain elements of their home – in particular solar panels (with a financial income – details upon request) together with the central heating which had been oil-fired however has now been replaced a very efficient “air-source” heat system (located externally to the rear). EPC – C. A substantial attic area offers excellent additional storage, accessed via ladder style stair within the upper study. The picturesque gardens that surround the property are a valued additional feature providing privacy and welcome outdoor space in which to relax on the best of days.

Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ This superb Family Home will be of particular appeal to the client seeking a larger luxury-style home in a picturesque setting with space in which to relax indoors & out …rather than returning home to a typical tightly packed modern development where the builder’s focus was simply to maximise the number of homes built on the available land.
Bruach House amidst its delightful setting will welcome its owners at the end of the working day …and bring a genuine sense of contentment as there is real space in which to breathe/live. “

Rarely available within desirable edge of Town Centre locale, "ARCH COTTAGE" .... a Charming Detached Chalet Style Bungalow nestling in Bellevue Lane (just off Bellevue Crescent), enjoying the much valued benefit of its own private gated driveway for convenient parking & a detached garage.
ARCH COTTAGE has been a happy home for its present owners over a number of years with its convenient/flexible 6 Main Apartment Accommodation featured over 2 levels, currently comprising 3 public rooms on the ground floor with 3 bedrooms on the upper floor. In addition a good sized breakfasting kitchen with separate/useful utility room (wc off) is located to the rear of the ground floor, whilst the main bathroom and an en-suite (off the "master" bedroom - No 1) are situated on the upper level.
Externally an easily maintained/neatly presented garden/amenity area is featured with a very private enclosed lawned garden being most inviting, whilst monobloc/paving form the remaining area. A sheltered patio area is accessed just off the family room.
The "Bellevue" area is well established with a fine array/mix of traditional period homes whilst ARCH COTTAGE blends in well with its "Cottage" (albeit modern) style.
In our opinion this is indeed the classic "rare opportunity" to acquire a very desirable Detached 6 Apartment Home in an undoubtedly favoured/convenient locale. It benefits from its easily missed position nestling in Bellevue Lane and its modern build brings an easier level of maintenance and more time to enjoy its Cottage Style character. The Home Report is positive with a mortgage value in excess of the asking price.

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a much-loved home set amidst picturesque gardens, truly delightful to explore, extending to an expansive circa 1.3 acre.

This delightful Character Home has been occupied by its present owner since the late 1970’s, with the owner having enhanced the energy efficiency of the property by way of insulation/solar panel heating etc whilst the expansive garden has been a much enjoyed labour of love with an emphasis on eco friendly/organic/productivity together with its undoubted attraction as a magical environment for children to explore & play hide n’ seek with the garden wildlife.
Internal viewing reveals a comfortable home which is rich with character & charm, period features including fireplaces with solid fuel fires, exposed stonework, all complemented by the magical garden views hidden to the rear. The property was extended in the past, unusually it retains two separate staircases which over time reveal their convenience of use as they are situated towards either end and encourage an easier flow between the ground & upper floors.

A detached triple garage block on the corner of the garden boundary provides both private/secure parking & storage with a floored/lined area together with useful utility.
Graeme Lumsden, Director/Valuer of BLACK HAY ESTATE AGENTS comments…
“ There is so much I could write with regards to this unique character home, its wonderful expansive gardens and its enthusiastic owner who clearly adores and has adored her home & garden over the years …however, it’s the viewing of this magical home & garden which replaces the written word.
I found it genuinely magical and I have no doubt that the successful buyer will be over-the-moon when they collect their keys on removal day and open the door for the 1st time …it’s the day that the dream becomes a wonderful reality. ”
