Welcome to Thornly Park
Less than four miles from Glasgow Airport, Thornly Park is around fifteen minutes' drive from Glasgow city centre via the M8. The road links are complemented by outstanding rail services. Paisley benefits from two local train stations, at Gilmour Street and Canal Street, and Barrhead station is also nearby. Frequent fast trains from Gilmour Street Station, two miles away reach Glasgow Central in around ten minutes. Additional services from Canal Street Station and Barrhead Station, a mile and a half to the north and south respectively, run approximately every half hour to Glasgow Central, and there are also direct rail links with Kilmarnock, from Barrhead, and with Ayr and Wemyss Bay from Gilmour Street. Buses to the railway stations stop just outside the development.
Within a mile, there is a Morrisons supermarket and local shopping precinct at Glenburn with a convenience store, pharmacist, post office, family butcher, health centre and community centre. Shops at Barrhead to the south include Asda, Lidl, Tesco supermarkets and Paisley with its magnificent architectural and cultural attractions including the breathtaking Abbey, the Coats Observatory and the exciting Arts Centre presents a superb blend of the old and the new.
The partially pedestrianised Paisley town centre features a variety of shopping environments, from traditional streets filled with shops, cafes and restaurants, to the twice monthly Farmers' Market and high street fashion and sports brands in the Paisley Centre. The fashion and technology stores and Showcase cinema at Phoenix Retail Park are complemented by major retail centres at Silverburn and Braehead, with its cinema, skating snowsport and indoor climbing centres, and live concerts and sports at Braehead Arena.
The wide choice of sports and fitness amenities include a gym and swimming pool at Lagoon Leisure Centre, and there are two local golf courses. Thornly Park is set on the edge of the vast Gleniffer Braes Country Park, presenting endless opportunities for walking and cycling through moors and woodlands that provide habitats for a rich variety of wildlife. With the Glenburn and Harelaw Reservoirs, Craigie Linn waterfall and Glen Park just a short walk away, the development is the perfect base for outdoor activities.
The homes are in the catchment area for Lochfield Primary and St Charles RC Primary Schools, and for St Andrew's Academy and Gleniffer High School, all within around two miles. Glenburn Health Centre and Glenburn Dental Practice are both situated in Glenburn shopping precinct, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital, less than two miles away, has a 24-hour Emergency Department.

Our Background
We’ll keep it brief, because a lot has happened over the past eighty-five years. Around 100,000 new Miller homes, for a start. A lot of new ideas in building technology. Loads of awards, like Major Housebuilder of the Year, Large Housebuilder of the Year, Best Sustainable Development, and Private Housebuilder of the Year. That last one’s important because it’s from First Time Buyer magazine, so it’s about real people and their experiences.
Listening to you
It is about everything else we do to make buying a home simple and straightforward but also enjoyable and exciting. It’s about keeping in touch and helping you find what you want. Helping you buy your new home once you’ve found it and letting you know about our assistance schemes. It’s about keeping you up-to-date with the build in whichever way suits you best – email, text or post - and being there to help when you need it because we know buying a new home is one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make.
Every year, we ask an independent research company to find out whether our customers would recommend us to friends. In addition, we also take part in the Home Builders Federation National New Home Customer Satisfaction Survey each year. As well as providing a guide for homebuyers to help them when making their purchasing decision, the survey also encourages high levels of service within the industry. We are very proud to have a 5 star rating, the highest possible, in the customer satisfaction survey. A five star rating is not easy to achieve and is a very positive endorsement of the processes, systems and culture we have in place. We hope this provides our customers with real confidence in us and the homes we build.
Quality homes. In quality places.
Building homes is what we do and we are proud of the care and quality that goes into each and every one. We also know from our experience what people really like about the homes we build and we use that knowledge to continually improve and enhance what we offer our customers.
Behind the instant kerb appeal there is a structure that meets the highest professional standards and the beautifully proportioned rooms are impeccably finished and decorated. Importantly, every detail is checked and inspected before the keys are handed over to the new customer. Our site managers take great pride in their job – that’s obvious when you look at the number of awards they’ve won for quality.
We are also committed to making our homes as energy efficient as possible, giving you a pleasant surprise when you get your fuel bills at the end of each month.
And then there’s the all-important location, location, location. Some people crave country quiet whilst others want the convenience of urban living. We try to find the best spot to suit every taste, by putting urban where it’s also pretty quiet and rural where it’s also pretty convenient. Not only that, we make the most of the setting, making sure our developments stand out from the crowd.
Our relationship with you.
We do our very best to help you find what you’re looking for in the way which most suits you and we do it as unobtrusively as we can.
When you visit one of our developments, you can meet and talk to one of our experienced Development Sales Managers. They will show you the homes which will best meet your requirements and let you know about any special offers that might interest you.
If you decide to buy we’ll help you in any way we can. We can provide help and advice if required. We keep you informed as your new home is being built and get you involved at the appropriate time to add the personal touch; your kitchen, your tiles, your flooring.
When you get your keys, we’ll organise a meeting to go over all the important, practical information about how your home works and we will provide full instructions for everything. We will leave you in peace to enjoy your new home. However, we won’t go away and are on hand for as long as you need us; that’s the kind of relationship we like.
