Colville Wynd
Once one of a network of villages that populated North Lanarkshire, and today a suburb of Motherwell, New Stevenston still retains its local character and a lively infrastructure of shops and services. The Colville Wynd development brings a choice of prestigious contemporary apartments into a vibrant neighbourhood that is also an exceptionally convenient base for commuting to both Glasgow and the whole of the central belt.
Outdoor activities
Colville Wynd is well situated for escaping into the Lanarkshire countryside, and has several parks and open green spaces in easy reach. Just over three miles from the apartments, the superb Strathclyde Country Park offers an enormous variety of activities, from leisurely walking, cycling or horse riding through 400 hectares of delightful landscapes, enjoying the changing views, to sailing on Strathclyde Loch. There are facilities for rowing, windsurfing, canoeing, angling and water-skiing, and the Park has football pitches, jogging tracks and orienteering courses. The terrain includes a Roman fort and an historic towerhouse as well as a diversity of wildlife habitats. It is also the location for several major events such as international races, exhibitions and fairs. In addition, Strathclyde Country Park is the site of the huge M&D’s theme park, with its white-knuckle rides and indoor tropical rainforest.
Shopping
There is an excellent choice of convenience stores, off-licences, supermarkets and other retailers to meet all everyday needs within easy reach of the Colville Wynd apartments. For a wider choice of high street names and shopping malls, the centres of Motherwell, Hamilton and East Kilbride, as well as the celebrated stores of Glasgow city centre, are in easy reach.
Health care
There is a convenient GP surgery in Carfin Road, around three-quarters of a mile from Colville Wynd, and a larger medical centre in Motherwell High Street. There are also several dentists nearby.
Transport
Colville Wynd is conveniently situated for both the M74 and the M8, making it a excellent base for travel throughout the central belt as well as to the centre of Glasgow. There are nearby train stations at Holytown, just minutes from the apartments, and at Carfin, both on the main line between Edinburgh and Glasgow Central Station, and Motherwell Station has direct links with Cumbernauld and Lanark as well as Glasgow. There is a bus station in Motherwell, giving access to a wide network of local and national routes, and both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are within around 40 minutes drive.
