Area. Milngavie is ranked Scotland’s most beautiful mainland town centre and is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-urban/semi-rural areas with easy access to the city centre. The villa is set in a quiet upmarket neighbourhood and benefits from high-walled perimeters, affording 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. It is tucked away but less than a hundred metres from the charming, pedestrian-only, garden village centre of Milngavie, which is 20 minutes from Glasgow’s city centre. Off-street parking behind solid privacy gates is available for 5 cars in the driveway, with ample on-street parking also (free). Milngavie is ranked Scotland’s most beautiful mainland town centre and is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-urban/semi-rural areas with easy access to both city centre and contrasting rural escapes. The village is situated on the edge of the beautiful Mugdock Country Park with the West Highland Way starting close by. 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 shops (crafts, delis & grocery stores), banks and major retailers such as M&S, Tesco and Waitrose. It is only 1 minute walk to an abundance of local facilities all within the traffic-free village centre. In addition, it has easy access to leisure amenities that include sports centres, golf courses, cinema complexes, as well as Glasgow’s renowned concert 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 well serviced by two local airports.
Usage. Business and corporate clients can make use of free high-speed internet access and the quality living space makes it ideal for entertaining or for family gathering events. Families with youngsters will be easily entertained by the proximity of EITHER (in one direction) the many walks, lochs and beautiful scenery OR (in the other direction) popular sights such as Kelvingrove Galleries, Botanic Gardens or Transport Museum and copious theatre/concert venues. Oodles of easily-accessed bus, taxi and train transport options (all <5 minutes walk) provide access to the many outstanding cultural, sporting, music and culinary delights which all help make Glasgow into this city of culture and architecture.
Relax. Guests can simply arrive, relax and unwind in the spacious living areas, comprising a custom-made kitchen featuring oakwood finishings and modern kitchen appliances to prepare scrumptious lunches or evening meals. Alternatively, meals can be prepared by trained cooks who have catered for ski groups, wedding reception parties and national sports teams. Very reasonable prices available for family meals - breakfasts, packed lunches, afternoon teas, cocktail masterclasses and evening meals - whilst you enjoy the vast range of nearby amenities, bars, coffee shops - all within walking distance.
Baby-Toddler Clobber. We will provide travel cots, high chairs, stair gates, games and toys. Childrens' plastic cutlery and 'crockery' is also on hand. So, you don't need to pack all that clobber!
