Thorn Road and particularly its top section is one of the most admired and sought after addresses in Bearsden. Thorn Lodge is situated at its end and positioned at the northwest corner of Thorn Park, the house specifically designed to afford an outlook over the park. A highly individual house it is one that will appeal primarily to individuals and couples but may also attract families with a child, given its two bedrooms. It is a home that certainly stands out with its corbelled brickwork, coins, add particularly its “tower” within which is the property’s feature Turnpike staircase. The stylish nature of the house belies its modest origins. It started life in 1927 as an electrical substation for the South Clyde Electrical Company and for some six decades thereafter continued as such. It was in 1996 that it was transformed into Thorn Lodge. The architect, Eric Cadenhead, stating that due to the size of the plot and sympathetic to the existing residents of Thorn Road “conversion into a house seemed the only logical use for the building but it had to be done in a way as to squeeze every ounce of potential out of the assets it did have”. The architect's bold move was not only the tower but to place the living accommodation on the first floor to take advantage. Still available at ListedBuy!
