Plot 1 at Rowallan Castle Estate offers a rare opportunity to commission a large bespoke five-bedroom home set within a private, gated historic estate some 25 minutes from Glasgow. The Eaglesham design provides expansive living space (c.4,467 sqft) across multiple storeys with a roof-height glazed entrance, a vast open-plan living/kitchen/dining area and a 50m² adjoined double garage. The plot is roughly 0.55 acres, giving substantial private garden and landscaping potential.
The specification focuses on high energy performance: triple glazing, high levels of insulation, air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). These features are designed to deliver low energy consumption and a minimum B-rated EPC, helping reduce running costs compared with typical homes of this size.
Planning is already granted for an optional orangery and the developer offers a fixed-price, fully managed design-and-build route or the option to purchase the plot for a bespoke design (subject to planning). This gives flexibility for buyers who want a hands-off new build or those who prefer to oversee a custom home.
Important practical points: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the structured data lists only one bathroom despite the brochure text referencing multiple en-suites — buyers must verify final room and bathroom arrangements before committing. The wider area is classified as ageing rural neighbourhoods with higher local deprivation indices; road access is rural, though mobile signal is excellent and the estate includes communal amenities such as golf membership and estate grounds.
