Tucked away behind high stone privacy walls and camouflaged by mature high trees, but less than a hundred metres from the charming pedestrian-only village centre of Milngavie, this villa occupies an elevated position which affords magnificent south-westerly views with fabulous sunsets to see. It is set in a superior quiet neighbourhood and benefits from those high-walled perimeters, which afford tremendous privacy, yet enjoys easy access (< 150m away) to the start of the West Highland Way, Mugdock Country Park, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The Forth-Clyde Canal, with its flat cycle tracks, is also within easy reach.
Milngavie is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-rural areas with easy access to both city centre and contrasting rural escapes. [No long drive into the countryside.] The village is situated on the edge of the beautiful Mugdock Country Park and marks the start of the West Highland Way. With proximity to stunning scenery everywhere to be seen, Milngavie remains one of the most beautiful and rewarding places to live in Scotland. As well as its rich history, Milngavie is served by a wide range of independent/artisan shops, banks and major retailers such as M&S, Tesco and Waitrose. In addition, it has easy access to leisure amenities that include sports centres, golf courses, cinema complexes, as well as Glasgow’s many renowned concert, conference and theatre venues.
The village also benefits from fantastic transport links for the M8 to Edinburgh, A9 to Stirling/Perth or M74 to the South and England. With its frequent and efficient local and main line railway networks, Glasgow is not only easily accessible by car or train but also well serviced by two local airports. Edinburgh is less than an hour’s drive, although many articles have written: “Edinburgh may only be 50 miles from Glasgow, but Glasgow is a million miles from Edinburgh!”
