The Lawers at Balgray Gardens

Development Overview

The Lawers at Balgray Gardens is a fully reserved collection of new build homes by CALA Homes (West), an HBF 5-Star Rated Builder, located within the established Maidenhill community in Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire (Source 10). The development’s strategic location on Ayr Road (G77 5GR) places it within one of the most sought-after postcodes in Scotland, renowned for its excellent local infrastructure and school provision (Source 12). The final release of properties consisted of 52 luxurious five-bedroom detached homes (Source 7). Additionally, the broader Balgray Gardens phase also included a selection of one and two-bedroom apartments (Source 2, 8).

Property Details

This specific development phase focused on substantial family residences, with all five-bedroom detached properties exceeding 2,000 sq. ft., offering significant light, space, and flexible modern living (Source 7, 8). The final collection introduced new house types to the community, including The Evan, The Garvie, and The Macrae (Source 7). Standard internal specifications for these premium homes included a choice of designer kitchen options with Silestone worktops (Source 7). The houses are designed for energy efficiency, reflecting a key consideration for modern new build homebuyers (Source 8).

Location Benefits

Maidenhill has been designed as a community with ample public green space, equivalent to approximately 19 football pitches (Source 15). It offers immediate access to the brand new Maidenhill Primary School and Nursery (Source 6, 12, 13). The development is also within the catchment area for highly-regarded secondary schools, including Mearns Castle High School and St. Ninian's High School (Source 6).

Transport links are strong, positioning the site less than 12 miles from Glasgow city centre (Source 3). Road connections are excellent via the nearby M77 motorway (Junction 5) and the Glasgow Southern Orbital (A726), enabling a drive of around 21 minutes to Glasgow city (Source 15). For commuters, nearby Patterton and Whitecraigs Stations provide park-and-ride facilities, with frequent train services completing the journey to Glasgow Central Station in approximately 20 minutes (Source 3, 15).

Local amenities are readily accessible, including The Avenue Shopping Centre (approximately 1.5 miles) and Greenlaw Village (Source 3, 11). For leisure, Rouken Glen Park, a 143-acre historic green space with a café and boating pond, is less than three miles away. Sports facilities nearby include Parklands Country Club and David Lloyd Glasgow Rouken Glen (Source 11).
