Built on bungalows and semis
Clarkston grew after the railway arrived in 1866, but most of its houses date from a building boom in the 1920s and 1930s. Builders such as Mactaggart & Mickel, James Wright and John Lawrence filled Carolside, Netherlee and Stamperland with bungalows, semi-bungalows and semis. Red sandstone terraces run up Clarkston Road towards the Toll, with later estates at High Carolside (1970s) and Fairfield (1990s).
What Clarkston homes usually need
Interwar bungalows and semis are ideal for replacement windows: the openings are regular, the bays are well proportioned and a matching set of windows and a new front door changes the whole house. Many are due a second replacement, with first-generation double glazing now well past its best.
For dormer bungalows we pay particular attention to the upstairs windows, where access, fire escape rules and ventilation all matter.
- Bungalows and semi-bungalows: casement or flush sash windows throughout, often with a matching dormer.
- 1930s semis with bays: full bay window replacement with a welded, continuous cill.
- Red sandstone terraces: sash-style or flush sash windows that keep the character of the street.
- Front and back doors: composite front doors, with patio or French doors to the garden.

There is no conservation area named after Clarkston itself, but East Renfrewshire Council approved the Netherlee Conservation Area in 2019. It covers north Netherlee, First Avenue and small areas around North Williamwood, mainly two-storey red sandstone terraces, and part of Netherlee also has an Article 4 Direction. At the time, the council said replacing traditional windows and doors with uPVC there would need planning permission. Busby Conservation Area is close by.
Scottish rules for windows in conservation areas changed in May 2024:
- Rear windows, and side windows that don’t face a road, have no design conditions.
- On the front, or a side facing a road, you need the council’s prior approval if the new windows look different: a different opening method, pane layout, or frame or astragal colour or size.
- Listed buildings still need listed building consent.
- The 2024 rule covers windows only. For a new front door in a conservation area, check with the council before ordering.

Windows and doors in Clarkston: your questions
I live in Netherlee or Williamwood. Do conservation rules affect my windows and doors?
Parts of Netherlee and North Williamwood became a conservation area in 2019, and part of Netherlee has an Article 4 Direction. Scottish rules for windows changed in 2024, so check your address with East Renfrewshire Council. We can advise before you order.
Can you replace windows on a 1930s bungalow or semi-bungalow?
Yes. Interwar bungalows and semis are well suited to replacement windows, with regular openings and well-proportioned bays. Outside a conservation area, replacing existing windows is normally permitted development in Scotland.
