UNFURNISHED / AVAILABLE NOW Toft’s Cottage is a truly unique and beautifully maintained detached stone-built residence, nestled within approximately 0.9 acres of mature, landscaped garden grounds in the heart of Newton Mearns.

Quietly positioned at the end of a long private driveway just off Barr Place, the cottage offers a sense of seclusion and space rarely available in such a central location. Despite its peaceful surroundings, the property is just a short walk from Mearns Cross Shopping Centre and offers excellent access to local amenities, public transport links, and some of East Renfrewshire’s most sought-after primary and secondary schools, including Eastwood High School and St Ninian’s High School.

The principal bedroom benefits from lovely garden views and a sleek, modern en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, fitted with contemporary sanitaryware, separate walk-in shower, and co-ordinated tiling.
