Burnside View

Burnside View, a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, is located on Main Street in the historic Stirlingshire village of Plean, FK7 8BL. This development offers a structured mix of two, three, and four-bedroom energy-efficient houses, catering to first-time buyers, families, and downsizers.

Development Overview Burnside View comprises a range of new build houses with current active listings ranging from three to four bedrooms. The overarching price range for the development starts from approximately £252,995 up to £357,995. As a national housebuilder, Persimmon Homes currently holds a 5 Star status with the Home Builders Federation (HBF), indicating that over 90% of their customers would recommend them. However, prospective buyers should note that Persimmon Homes is widely regarded in the market as operating at the lower end of the volume-builder spectrum, and online customer reviews frequently highlight concerns related to initial build quality and post-completion snagging/customer care, which should be investigated thoroughly during the purchase process.

Property Details The development features specific house types, including the three-bedroom semi-detached 'The Newton', with plots available from £252,995, and four-bedroom detached houses like 'The Leith' (e.g., Plot 9 at £302,995) and 'The Thurso' (e.g., Plot 12 at £357,995). The Leith house type is a four-bedroom property offering an open-plan kitchen/dining room with French doors to the rear garden, a separate front-aspect lounge, a utility room, a ground-floor WC, and an integral garage. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom. Available incentives on select plots have included integrated appliances, Stamp Duty (LBTT) paid, or a Deposit Boost; buyers should contact the developer for the current plot-specific offers.

Location and Transport Links Burnside View’s strategic location near major road networks makes it suitable for commuters. The M9 and M80 motorways are easily accessible, providing a drive time of just over 30 minutes to Glasgow and approximately one hour to Edinburgh. The historic city of Stirling is only a 15-minute drive away, offering extensive retail and dining options, including city-sized supermarkets.

Public transport options are concrete: the Midland Bluebird Line 38 bus service connects Plean with Stirling and runs frequently, approximately every 15 minutes, with a journey time of around 19-22 minutes to Stirling’s Wellgreen Road. For rail travel, the nearest stations are Stirling and Larbert, where commuters can access services to major Scottish cities.

Local Amenities and Services Plean Country Park is located close to the development, providing over 200 acres of parkland for walking, cycling, and observing native wildlife. Within Plean village itself, amenities include a local primary school, a nursery, and a library, alongside healthcare and family facilities. Plean Castle is also a notable local historic landmark.
