Briar Homes is a family-run, Glasgow-based housebuilder “with a proven track record of developing high quality homes in East Renfrewshire, Glasgow and beyond”.

 In recent years, Briar Homes delivered a sell-out development called Eden Grove with private homes alongside affordable social housing from parent company AS Homes Scotland Ltd, at Dealston Road, Barrhead. More recently Briar Homes sold out at Woodlea in Darnley and Calderpark Gardens at Broomhouse Glasgow.  

Paul Kelly, managing director of Briar Homes Ltd, said: “There is an acute need for high quality homes in Scotland and following our sell out success of Eden Grove, we’re excited to return to Barrhead and create a new community.”

“It’s great to secure planning at Aurs Road which will enable works to begin on site in the early part of 2025. We look forward to engaging with the community and delivering a thriving environment for an array of buyers to call home.”
