Hazelden is widely regarded as one of the most desirable areas within Newton Mearns and has, in recent years, established itself as one of Glasgow’s premier residential locations. Set against a picturesque countryside backdrop, the area features a collection of distinctive homes nestled within rolling landscapes, all while being just a short drive from Mearns Cross and The Avenue Shopping Centre.

Originally constructed as a 1960s detached bungalow, Donearn now offers highly flexible accommodation with significant scope for further development or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.
At present the accommodation comprises:
A welcoming vestibule leads into an impressive reception hall, where a feature spiral staircase creates an immediate sense of character and scale.
The ground floor offers a superb selection of reception spaces, including a bright bay-windowed sitting room enjoying picturesque views over the gardens and French doors opening to a deck terrace. A second, more informal family room features a wood burner and French doors opening onto a generous decked terrace, perfectly positioned to overlook the rear garden. A versatile music room provides additional flexibility and could easily serve as a study or family room. This space connects seamlessly to a charming conservatory, an ideal spot for relaxing while enjoying uninterrupted views of the garden, further enhancing the home’s connection to its natural surroundings.
The formal dining room sits conveniently adjacent to the kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. The dining room could easily be reconfigured to create an additional bedroom. The kitchen itself is centrally positioned, well connected to the main living areas, and complemented by a separate utility room for added practicality.
A particular highlight is the ground floor bedroom suite, complete with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. This offers excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or those seeking the ease of predominantly single-level accommodation.
A further bathroom is also located on this level.
Upstairs, a bright central landing leads to two substantial double bedroom suites, each benefiting from fitted storage and private en-suite facilities, ensuring a high degree of comfort and privacy. Both rooms enjoy lovely open views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.
A particular feature of Donearn is its extensive and beautifully maintained garden grounds, which extend to over 1 acre or thereby. Enjoying a desirable southerly aspect, with expansive lawns, deck terrace, and an ornamental pond. The gardens provide a wonderful sense of privacy and shelter; all set against a backdrop of rolling countryside views.
Two monobloc driveways provide ample parking for multiple vehicles. A third chipped driveway, accessed by electric gates, leads to a detached double garage with remote-controlled doors, lighting, toilet and a sink. An EV charger is also installed, offering modern convenience.
Further benefits include double glazing, an electric air source heat pump and oil-fired boiler hybrid heating system combines renewable energy with traditional heating, using the air source heat pump for around 70-80% of heat demand and the oil boiler for backup during the colder months. There is also electric underfloor heating in the conservatory, kitchen and both downstairs bathrooms.
