The Meadows sits in an elevated position on South Glassford Street, one of the preferred locations within the popular small town of Milngavie. The property benefits from incredible views over the town and beyond.

Milngavie is a thriving town which provides an excellent range of professional services, schools and shops including Marks & Spencer and Waitrose (0.5 miles). Secondary education is on hand at Douglas Academy, whilst the Glasgow Academy Junior school (P1-P4) is also found in Milngavie. There is a commuter railway station to Glasgow Queen Street with trains running around every 15 minutes and taking about 23 minutes as well as direct services to Edinburgh Waverley. All the universities, colleges and recreational and cultural facilities of the city are therefore within easy reach.

Glasgow International Airport is around 12 miles away. Milngavie is also well positioned for Stirling and Edinburgh, which can both be reached via the A803 and M80 without going through Glasgow's city centre.    The Meadows is well placed to access the countryside, with Milngavie being the starting point for the West Highland Way, while Loch Lomond lies about 15 miles to the north. Locally there are four superb golf courses, the nearest being Douglaston Golf Course, while Nuffield fitness club is approximately a mile away.
