Lorimer Homes built Thorn Heights years circa 2005/2006 upon the leafy southerly grounds of the former seminary, Scotus College, the centrepiece of which is the Victorian mansion house, Chesters House. Lorimer were known for the quality of their designs and the high specification of their developments, and this is clearly on show at Thorn Heights. The two blocks (East and West) are beautifully finished in reconstituted stone and sit amidst lovely residents’ gardens off Chesters Road.
Here, No.8 is a fantastic example, having been fastidiously maintained across the duration of our clients stay and with replacement shower rooms, the refurbishment/upgrading of the kitchen and general modernisation/colourful decorative touches contributing to what stands as a warmly presented and very smart example of these outstanding apartments.
As a property, it should appeal to both couples and individuals, with many of the residents at Thorn Heights having moved from larger family homes seeking easy and comfortable living for their retirement/semi-retirement. Common areas are well maintained and managed by the appointed property management company, Redpath Bruce of Glasgow in conjunction with the residents.
Our suite of HDR images, 360° immersive tour, HD video and floorplan will allow for thorough desktop appraisal of the property, with a summary of the accommodation to be found as follows:-
Summary of Accommodation

Situation
Thorn Heights enjoys a most established and leafy setting by virtue of the Chesters House origins. It is in the highly admired Thorn district and is located off Chesters Road. Nearby is Thorn Park, Thorn Tennis Club, and Bearsden Golf Course. Bearsden Cross, the heart of the town, is but half a mile to the east where there is an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, a well-stocked post office, and a Marks & Spencer food hall. Bearsden railway station is just south of The Cross and provides regular services to Glasgow’s West End and City Centre. The Cross has churches of various denominations, doctor and dental practices and, at its heart, Bearsden’s Library and Community Hub (temporarily closed).
This a very appealing luxury apartment.
