Millbrae Cottage is situated within private and mature garden grounds with a terrace, ideal for entertaining and benefits from gas central heating and an allocated parking space, situated within Camphill Gate.

Langside is one of the oldest and most event filled areas on the south side of Glasgow. There is evidence of prehistoric settlement, a famous battle, a community of radical weavers and some mansions, before it became fully urbanised.

Langside and its neighbouring suburb of Shawlands provide a broad range of shopping facilities, supermarkets, restaurants, bars and numerous recreational facilities and is near Queen’s Park and Newlands Park. Silverburn shopping centre provides an extensive range of shops, restaurants and supermarkets is around a 10 minute drive away. There are several golf courses in the area including Pollok and Haggs Castle Golf Clubs and a selection of local health clubs.

Queen’s Park itself is a beautiful Sir Robert Paxton creation which offers something for everyone, from manicured lawns, sport and recreational facilities, boating pond, glasshouse and extensive views across the City towards the Campsie Hills and Ben Lomond.
