Music Teacher & Husband Get Keys to New Life

The couple fell in love with its loch-side setting and decided that it was time to make a move from their traditional bungalow in Bearsden where they had lived for 30 years.

They picked a stunning five bedroom Carlton villa on the edge of the loch and have quickly settled in to their luxurious home.

Helen said: "We loved our old home but it was hard work and the garden took up a lot of time, it took six hours just to trim the hedges. "We want something easy to maintain but we didn't want to compromise on size, some of our friends have downsized and said they had gone too small."

There is no chance of that with the Carlton which features a large lounge, separate dining room and open plan kitchen with dining area and family room, ideal for entertaining the Henderson's family and friends.

Upstairs are five bedrooms with plenty of space for the couple's older daughter Pauline and her husband to come and stay when they arrive back from Australia. With a master bedroom and second bedroom both with en-suites, there is lots of privacy for visitors who come to stay.

The house is also closer to their daughter Joanne and her two children who live in Stepps.

Helen added: "It used to take us 25 minutes to get to their house from Bearsden now we can get there in six so it is much more convenient for babysitting and visits."

Along with its location close to Broadwood Loch, the development offers an imaginative streetscape with play areas and pathways designed to instil character as well take advantage of the views of the neighbouring loch.

Featuring only 69 properties in total, Collingwood is a terrific commuter location within easy access to Glasgow and a direct route to Stirlingshire.

Currently available at the site are a range of homes from three bedroom semi detached villas from £170,000 to five bedroom villas like the Carlton at £297,000. Call 01236 728529 or log onto www.walkergroup.co.uk.
