Howford Park

Development Overview

Howford Park is an upcoming new build community by Ashberry Homes, a trading division of Bellway Homes Limited, located on Crookston Road in the established residential suburb of Crookston, Glasgow City (G53 7TX). The development is planned for the site of the former Howford Primary School and is projected to deliver approximately 57 new homes, contributing to the regeneration of the local area. The scheme is currently marked as 'Coming Soon,' meaning that specific plot releases and a show home launch date are to be confirmed.

Ashberry Homes positions itself as a provider of high-quality homes and has received recognition, including Pride in the Job awards for some site managers. However, prospective buyers should note that customer feedback for the developer is mixed, with reviews citing both attractive home design and excellent insulation alongside reports of significant snagging issues, delayed resolution times, and occasional difficulties reaching site management.

Property Details

Howford Park will offer a selection of energy-efficient new build homes, primarily focusing on three and four-bedroom house types designed to meet local family demand. Specific features will include an open-landscaped environment and turf laid to the front gardens of the properties. The homes are being built with energy efficiency in mind, offering an opportunity for potential savings on utility bills compared to older properties. Specific house style names, floor plans, and internal specifications are available directly from the developer’s Scotland West divisional office. Current pricing is officially marked as 'Prices to be confirmed' (TBC).

Location Benefits

The development benefits from strong transport connections, making it particularly suitable for commuters into Glasgow and Paisley. Crookston Train Station is located approximately a 10-minute walk from the development site, offering a direct ScotRail service to Glasgow Central Station with a typical journey time of just 12 to 14 minutes. The site is situated off Crookston Road, providing a quick road link (approximately 4 minutes) to the A761 and a 5-minute drive to the M77 motorway, which links directly to the M8 and the wider central Scotland motorway network. Local bus services such as the 3, 9, 22, X8, 49, and 153 operate nearby, providing links across the local area.

For amenities, Howford Park is located within a five-minute drive of the extensive Silverburn Shopping Centre, which provides a wide range of retail, dining, and leisure facilities. The area immediately surrounding the site contains several small shops, and there are five different supermarkets easily accessible within a two-mile radius. For families, Linthaugh Nursery School and Rosshall Nursery School are both within a five-minute walk, and the area offers a selection of primary and secondary schools under the administration of Glasgow City Council. Leisure activities are supported by six different golf courses within a 10-minute drive, and the area is home to the historic Crookston Castle and other green public spaces.
