The Briars, Craigton Road, Milngavie G62

Built by Fleming Builders, The Briars is an exclusive development comprising eight luxury apartments and a single detached home. Designed with a blend of contemporary styling and traditional elements, the building sits proudly on the corner of Craigton Road and Hunter Road, enclosed by an attractive stone boundary wall and surrounded by beautifully tended residents’ gardens. This is very much a bespoke development, far removed from typical new-build schemes, with an evident emphasis on individuality and quality in each property’s design. 

This particular second-floor apartment is an outstanding example within the development. Exceptionally spacious and thoughtfully designed, it features two generous bedroom suites, two balconies with open aspects, and two impressive public rooms arranged semi-open plan to create a bright, flowing layout. A sizeable reception hall and a well-appointed breakfasting kitchen with a central island complete the internal accommodation. Views are a major highlight: the lounge and dining area, along with their balcony, overlook Craigton Woods and Clober Golf Course, while the kitchen and principal bedroom enjoy outlooks toward the golf course fairways across Craigton Road. The accompanying photography and video tour emphasise the scale, finish, and meticulous presentation on offer.

The building and its communal areas are maintained to a high standard by Hacking & Paterson of Glasgow. Outside, the grounds feature a winding monobloc drive with lighting, visitors’ and residents’ parking, and a dedicated carport space for this property, along with a discreet bin store. Internally, the specification is impressive throughout, oak internal doors, high-quality double-glazed timber-framed windows and French doors, stylish en-suites plus a guest WC, thermostatic showers, chrome towel radiators, and a striking marble fireplace in the lounge. The kitchen is fully equipped with integrated appliances and offers ample storage and prep space via its large breakfast bar. All three bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, and the property benefits from gas central heating via a Worcester Greenstar Highflow boiler. Décor is tasteful and neutral throughout.  It is a home ideally suited to professional couples, downsizers, or anyone seeking a property that delivers generous space without compromising on luxury.

Secure residents’ entrance with lift and stair access; welcoming reception hall with guest WC and storage; dual-aspect lounge with French doors to the main balcony; open-plan dining room leads to the fitted contemporary kitchen with high-gloss cabinetry, stone worktops, eight ring burner range cooker, dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine, plus French doors to the second balcony; large principal bedroom with wardrobes, Juliett balcony access, and a sizeable en-suite shower room; second double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite bathroom with shower over bath; guest WC.

The Briars enjoys a superb position around a mile northwest of Milngavie Village Centre, set beside Clober Golf Course and the woodland of Craigton Woods. Residents benefit from immediate access to scenic walking routes, linking through Drumclog Moor and Mugdock Country Park, which also incorporates the start/finish point of the West Highland Way. Milngavie’s pedestrianised centre offers an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, independent retailers, butchers, fishmongers, and major stores including Marks & Spencer, Boots, Tesco, Waitrose, and Aldi. Clober itself has two handy local shops, one with a Post Office. Schooling is a strong draw, with Douglas Academy only a few minutes’ walk away and primary provision at Clober Primary. The area is well connected by transport: Milngavie Railway Station provides four services per hour into Glasgow City Centre and the West End, plus a direct route to Edinburgh. A bus stop adjacent to the development also offers convenient travel to and from Glasgow.
