Quality of life is about the details of everyday living. From the little things, like knowing the nearest place to pick up a pint of milk, to more important matters like finding the right school or having a health centre nearby, you need to know that the community you’re moving to will support you and your family, as well as being a pleasant place to live. So here’s some useful information about the area around Miller Homes at Benthall Farm.

The East Kilbride area offers a lively selection of entertainment and cultural attractions, including an Arts Centre with theatre, cinema and exhibition facilities, and a Village Theatre in the old part of the town.There is a cinema, a ten-pin bowling centre and an ice rink in the East Kilbride Shopping Centre, and the Dollan Aqua Centre in the town centre includes flumes, a gymnasium, kids’ pool, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
