Dougalston Crescent, Milngavie G62

What the Owners Say

“We moved into number 8 just before Christmas in 2013. We were drawn here by the access to green space, the great local schools for our three kids, and a welcoming, friendly neighbourhood. Back then quite a few of our neighbours were elderly and over the years more young families have moved in. We found ourselves surrounded by a new generation of children playing safely outside, neighbours looking out for one another, and a continued tradition of community that made this more than just a place to live—it became our home. We loved that our youngest could meet his friends from school at the play park at the end of the street and also from there, our family would go exploring in the beautiful woodland trails.

Milngavie offers everything a family could hope for. The village centre is a short walk away, with fantastic shops, cafes, and local amenities. The train station is handy too. If you're outdoorsy like us, you'll love the local walking opportunities and easy road access to the Trossachs and beyond.

The house itself is wonderfully versatile and has adapted with our family through the years. There's ample space to configure as needed—whether for children, guests, home offices or creative spaces.

The garden is a good size and easy to maintain—even for those of us who aren’t especially green-thumbed! It’s a suntrap and has been the backdrop to many joyful gatherings and garden parties over the years.

The basement has been a real bonus: Originally set up as a summer kitchen and storage area, it has also been used as a woodworking workshop and a casual hangout spot for teenagers.

Meanwhile, the attic, cleverly designed by the previous owners, has been our peaceful retreat—ideal for hobbies, reading, writing, or quiet working.

We’ve loved this home for everything it’s given us: Space, comfort, community, and a setting that’s enriched our lives. It’s a place where a family can grow and flourish, just as ours has. Now it’s time for us to pass it on to the next lucky family who will make their own memories here.”
