Dickie Homes

Newton Mearns is often described as an “affluent leafy suburb” of Glasgow, but it is much more than that.  Homes of all sizes are highly desirable – and it is therefore little wonder that half of the apartments being created by Dickie Homes at Craigend of Capelrig were reserved quickly after the development was launched.

Newton Mearns has established itself as one of the most desirable areas in which to live in and around Glasgow. The appeal is easy to appreciate, easy access to Glasgow, combined with peace and quiet and a range of excellent local facilities. Newton Mearns contains a number of parks, notably Rouken Glen and the National Trust owned Greenbank Gardens. Nearby, there are numerous sporting clubs and good local retail facilities; as well as some of Scotland’s best performing primary and secondary schools.

Newton Mearns was bypassed in 1996 by the new M77 motorway, ensuring excellent communications (Junction 4 is just a few minutes drive from Dickie’s development) and adding to the peace and quiet, whilst Glasgow is in easy commuting distance, the town offers a wide range of retail and leisure facilities.  When it comes to communications the town also offers two local train stations; Patterton and Whitecraigs, both link Newton Mearns to Glasgow’s Central Station.

Dickie Homes is a well respected home builder in the West Central region with well over a century of home building experience, including past development in Newton Mearns.  Sales Director John Kerr is clearly pleased to be building in the area, noting:  “It is a pleasure to be working once again in Newton Mearns, both because it is such a beautiful area and also because demand is high and so selling out quickly is something we can look forward to!  I appreciate this may sound very confident, but I want to ensure that if people are interested in moving into the apartments we are creating then they have the opportunity”. 

The development consists of just 18 innovatively designed and highly specified 2 and 3 bedroom luxury apartments, with five different apartment styles.  Testament to the popularity and demand that John Kerr pointed to is the limited availability so early in the build programme, 50% of the homes were reserved before building work had even started!

Newton Mearns is clearly a highly desirable location and into this Dickie Homes have planned a wholly appropriate development.  Dickie Homes’ clearly understand that kerb appeal is a key attribute of such a development and their design and site layout both work to ensure that the first impression is an impressive one.  The apartment buildings are designed to a traditional style and are accessed by a sweeping private drive, providing a grand first impression for what are after all some very grand apartments

Each of the apartment buildings offers a lift to each floor and allocated parking, with ample visitor parking.  Once inside, each of the spacious homes enjoys its own balcony as part of a high specification, which includes premium brands such as AEG kitchen appliances, Scope bathrooms and Porcelenosa.  The intention is clear, to create homes that make living in such a wonderful area comfortable and stylish.
