Happy Buyers at Castle Grove 

Posted 17 September 2019 by Helen Christie

Ryan and Wendy Espie moved into their new five-bedroom family home at Mactaggart & Mickel’s Castle Grove development in Newton Mearns...

Castle Grove offers a choice of luxurious detached homes, positioned near delightful open countryside with attractive views over Glasgow.

The couple, who have one son and one daughter always spoke about living at Castle Grove and the area. They’d visited the development a number of times over the years but had never managed to find a plot that ticked all their boxes. Until now.

In April this year, the couple found the perfect property and were also able to take advantage of Mactaggart & Mickel’s Part Exchange deal.

Wendy says: “We have always spoken about living at Castle Grove and to make this a reality has been a dream come true. The offer of Part Exchange from Mactaggart & Mickel allowed us to pursue the particular plot that we wanted – one with a south-west facing garden and so much space! The deal made the entire move feel seamless.”

That is a sentiment shared by Ryan: “Selling and buying has been stress-free and every aspect of the Part Exchange process went smoothly. We were treated very fairly and we got the price we wanted for our old house, if not a little bit more. It’s been easier than we anticipated and really allowed us to concentrate on the move itself.”

Wendy continues: “From the very first day, it has always felt like home. Every room is the perfect size, and there’s so much sunlight coming into the house. The kids love it and we are able to accommodate friends and family very easily with all the extra space.”

The couple are also delighted with the storage that their home – a Telford design - has to offer, especially with two young children. “The extra living space makes such a difference to us as a family,” says Wendy. “We keep all their toys there, and being able to shut the door at night when they’re in bed means we really enjoy our time together. I would say that our lives have become so much more relaxed and enjoyable since we moved in. It’s these little things but they mean a lot. We often sit back and take in our surroundings and know that we’ve made the best move possible.  We couldn’t be happier and more content in our new home.”

Ryan adds: “I would recommend Mactaggart & Mickel to anyone. Nothing has been too much trouble and they’ve helped us before, during and after the move. The site manager was also incredibly helpful, even offering to take away our empty boxes after we’d unpacked.”

Castle Grove is ideal for families and professionals requiring commuter access to Glasgow, as well as downsizers who would like to be within easy reach to the city and still enjoy everything that East Renfrewshire has to offer on the doorstep.  Excellent amenities and highly rated schools make the area a popular location.

Part Exchange at Castle Grove is still available for buyers, removing lots of uncertainty about selling your current property and allowing you to take the big step to your dream home.
