Some homes have a presence, and 61 Glazert Road is without doubt one of them. This isn't your standard new build; it’s an executive villa that commands one of the most envied plots in the entire Hapland Mill development. Built by the renowned Dickie & Moore Homes circa 2010, the property is a rare find that puts a massive 7 apartment footprint right on the banks of the Glazert Water. The real magic happens at the rear, where your back fence isn't a neighbour’s wall, but a private, leafy border of mature woodland and the peaceful flow of the river. It’s a setting that feels worlds away from the city, yet you’re close enough to the station to take advantage of the 26-minute direct train to Glasgow. If you’ve been looking for a house that reflects a step up in both scale and scenery, this is the one that hits the mark.

Step inside and the sense of volume is immediate. The ground floor is designed for a life well-lived, anchored by a massive open-plan kitchen and sitting room that spans the rear of the house. This is the undisputed heart of the home, where French doors bridge the gap between the breakfast table and the riverside gardens. For more refined evenings, the formal lounge offers a relaxed retreat, while the separate dining room provides the perfect flexible footprint for a high-end home office or a dedicated playroom. Practicality isn’t an afterthought either; a large utility room keeps the laundry out of sight, and the internal double garage offers enough space for a workshop, a home gym, or simply housing the family vehicles. Upstairs, the proportions remain just as impressive. The principal suite is a genuine showstopper, featuring a dual-aspect bedroom, a dedicated walk-in dressing room, and a four-piece ensuite. Three further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom branch off the gallery landing, ensuring every member of the household has their own sense of space and luxury. There is an extensive attic which has been floored with a drop down ladder providing additional storage solutions. The lifestyle on offer in Dunlop is nothing short of idyllic. As a protected conservation village, it has managed to retain its historic character while becoming a magnet for those who appreciate the finer things in life. You are a mere stroll from the legendary Idle Hands bakery—famous for its artisan sourdough and Florentine coffee—and the community-run village hub keeps the village spirit thriving. There is also a couple of local convenience stores and a post office. After a weekend ramble through the plentiful nature walks and trails, you can head to the local community run pub for a pint among neighbours. For the hybrid professional, the logistics are unbeatable; Dunlop Station provides a direct, stress-free rail link to Glasgow Central in just 26 minutes. This is a rare chance to trade the frantic pace of city life for a riverside deck in a village that feels like a hidden gem, all without ever sacrificing your connection to the coast or the city.
