Construction is currently underway at Barony Rise on Aurs Road, near Lyoncross Farm, and a short distance from Dams to Darnley Country Park.
According to Briar Homes, the “boutique-style community” will consist of 30 four-bedroom and nine five-bedroom detached homes.

Paul Kelly, managing director of Briar Homes Ltd, added: “It’s fantastic to officially launch Barony Rise and continue to bring this exciting new community to life.
“Our focus is not just on building high-quality houses, but on contributing to the wider regeneration of Barrhead by providing homes where they’re needed most.
“We’re proud to play an active role in shaping neighbourhoods across central Scotland, and this latest development reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and community connection.”

The housing developer was granted permission to build on land around C-listed Lyoncross House, off Aurs Road, last year, despite council officials recommending the scheme was rejected.
The firm then asked for approval to chop down 16 additional trees and retain 10 which were set to be removed in order to meet the drainage requirements of Scottish Water.
More than 40 residents objected to the plans to cut down the extra trees, but planners recommended the proposal was approved.
The application was eventually given the green light on the casting vote of Councillor Andrew Morrison, who was chairing the planning meeting.
With the construction now underway, Briar Homes says that is implementing their “extensive landscaping and tree provision strategy to nurture biodiversity in the surrounding area.”
