The M8, M80 and M73 create a transport triangle around the area that has been designated as the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. From your new build, it’s 10 miles into Glasgow city centre, 20 miles to Glasgow Airport, four miles to Coatbridge for shopping centres and retail parks, and just over 40 miles to Edinburgh. Trains into Glasgow Queen Street take just 20 minutes. Local bus services include routes to Coatbridge, Moodiesburn, and the Glasgow Fort shopping and leisure centre.

The area has all the basics covered with a village shop, grocers, chemist and a takeaway.

The Fort Shopping Centre on the way into Glasgow has great shopping, a Vue Cinema, a gym and several restaurant chains.

Your beautiful new house is surrounded by open countryside and has Loch and woodland walks. The Nature Reserve is a haven for local wildlife and has Scotland's largest colony of great crested newts. Just a short drive south is the Drumpellier Country park with a large moorland, forest and parkland with trails, a fun children's playground, a garden and two lochs with pleasant walks. If you'd like to add golf clubs to that walk, the Mount Ellen Golf course is just a mile from your new house!

Head to the capital city of Edinburgh with its galleries, museums and great shopping, or East Lothian for fantastic golf courses. If you want to head for the hills, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park are within a short drive. If you want miles of sandy beaches, the M73, M74, and M77 will take you to Kilmarnock and from there it’s a short drive to the stunning Ayrshire coast.
