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.

Apartment 17 is in the West Block and is on the second floor with windows/aspects to north and principally south (lounge/dining room, balcony, bedroom 1). The design is very appealing, with two of the three bedrooms having ensuites (a bathroom to bedroom 1 and a shower room to bedroom 2) with a second shower room serving bedroom 3 and for guests. The lounge, and its dining room (open plan), is a great space and features near floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge and French doors, from the dining area to the balcony. At the focal point is a handsome limestone fireplace.
Central heating is mains gas with a Vokera combination boiler. Windows, and the French doors, were upgraded only in 2024 with triple glazing, finished in white uPVC frames to the inside and in cool grey to the exterior. All sanitary ware is of a modern design and by Valdares. A good-sized dining kitchen has cherrywood units, Shaker style, with solid granite worktops/upstands, and a range of integrated kitchen appliances that will also include the Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezer.

As clients will see from our imagery, the subjects are immaculately presented and tastefully finished with oak doors, skirtings, and facings. Chrome sockets and switches along with LED ceiling down-lighters add another modern touch throughout the apartment.

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. All is well maintained and managed by the appointed property management company, Redpath Bruce of Glasgow.

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.
