BARRHEAD LIVING

Barrhead is 8 miles south west of Glasgow and is the main town in East Renfrewshire with a population of around 20,000.

The name Barrhead comes from the agricultural term ‘Barr’ meaning long ploughed furrows for cultivating crops. Barrhead was formed when a group of small textile-producing villages grew into one other. The town was a major centre of manufacturing right into the 20th century. Modern Barrhead is a commuter town for Paisley and Glasgow and its close proximity to these places makes its a great place to visit.

Residents can follow the Barrhead Heritage Trail, three walks which take in 27 historically significant sights around the town of which the oldest is the Arthurlie Cross, a 9th century carved stone. Barrhead sits on the edge of the Gleniffer Braes, a range of hills and park area.

The park provides a variety of activities and sights including walks, play areas and waterfalls as well as stunning panoramic views from the Clyde Valley to Ben Lomond. Dams to Darnley is Scotland’s newest country park and covers over 1300 acres between the dams and reservoirs at Barrhead and the village of Darnley. The park contains a seven mile network of paths while the ranger service runs a variety of events throughout the year. Barrhead has a variety of shops and eateries.

Close to the town is Silverburn, one of the largest shopping centres in the UK, and Barrhead Sports Centre offers a range of leisure facilities. Famous faces from Barrhead include Alex McLeish, Scotland’s most capped defender, and author Christopher Brookmyre.

Barrhead sits near to the M77 motorway, making it easily accessible by car and it has a railway station which has regular services to Glasgow, Kilmarnock, Stranraer and Carlisle. Local buses services are available which travel from Barrhead to Glasgow and Paisley.

    Lewis was my estate agent for my flat in Glasgow which I’ve just sold. It was on the market for 3 days before I accepted an offer. The selling process is stressful for sure but Lewis handled it well. At the first meeting, I didn’t believe Lewis when he gave me his thoughts on the price I would get for the property, I had to trust him and the process and sure enough, he was right and I was flabbergasted to say the least. I would highly recommend using them, so easy to deal with. No flashy sales brochures required, easy to communicate with and knows what’s going on in Glasgow with the prices of property (unlike me ha). Thank you Lewis.

    We can’t recommend Lewis Murphy highly enough. He’s been instrumental in helping us scale rapidly and is now managing a portfolio of 20 properties for us with complete professionalism. Lewis handles everything from tenant sourcing and compliance to ongoing maintenance and problem-solving, all with an incredible level of care and efficiency.

    What really sets him apart is his commitment - he genuinely treats each property as if it were his own. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and he’s become a trusted partner (and friend) along the way. He knows this game inside out, and our tenants love him also. Our properties are kept in tip top condition 247, 365 days of the year, and from a business point of view, our rents drop into our account as and when they are received with no issues.

    Thank you, Lewis - we couldn’t have done it without you!

    It has been a delight to meet Lewis and work with him. I feel very lucky to have him as my agent. He is both professional and considerate, which made me feel comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. Throughout the entire buying process, he answered all my questions promptly and kindly, whether by phone or email, with no delays. His responsiveness greatly facilitated communication between both parties. I highly recommend Lewis!
